It's a bittersweet day, as we wish Police Chief Neil Dadian farewell and happy retirement. Chief Dadian's law enforcement career has spanned 44 years, including the last 11 as Kingsburg's Chief of Police.

Chief Dadian oversaw several advances of the Police Department, including growing from 12 sworn officers to 25, made possible through the passage of Measure E in 2018. He has helped modernize the department, attract and retain talented officers, and provided steady guidance during a time when law enforcement has been challenged and scrutinized nationally. His leadership, wisdom, and dry wit will be missed.

Kingsburg Lieutenant Shaun Stephens was previously named Dadian's successor, and will take over his duties officially on December 31, 2025.

The Kingsburg City Council will officially recognize Chief Dadian during their next regular City Council meeting on January 7, 2026. The public is encouraged to attend.
