New Acting Chief for Salinas Police Department


9/30/2024

City manager Rene Mendez announced this morning that Salinas has a new Acting Chief of Police, Salinas native and commander Danny Warner. Former Acting Chief of Police John Murray will resume his duties as Assistant Chief of Police.

“Acting Chief Murray has done an excellent job filling the shoes of our former chief, Roberto Filice, after Filice accepted a new job earlier this year in East Bay. As I step into this new role, I do so knowing the city of Salinas and the Salinas Police Department continue to be in good hands,” said Acting Chief Warner. “I am committed to working closely with the Mayor’s team, City leaders, the community, our commanders and members of SPD to move forward and positively impact public safety during this temporary period until a permanent chief is named. We will continue our commitment to collaborate with the community, address violence, deter crime, and make our city a safe place to work, visit, and call home.”

Salinas Community


Sgt Kendall GraySergeant Kendall Gray

Salinas is a place where things grow: enough produce to feed the nation, enough wildflowers to blanket the nearby mountains, and all the dreams you might expect in one of the youngest cities in America. It's a community of 150,000 where the median age is 28 years.

We’re located near where the Salinas River ends its journey through its great valley to the Monterey Bay. Thanks to the soil, the climate — and hard-working, talented people — it’s one of the most fertile regions on earth.

This has been the home of Esselen and Ohlone Indians, Spanish missionaries and ranchers, American frontier people, and immigrants from Latin America, Japan, the Philippines, Switzerland — the world over. It was the birthplace of John Steinbeck, who set his novels East of Eden and Of Mice and Men in the Salinas Valley.
