Rancho Cordova Police Department Chief Michael Goold announced that he will be retiring at the end of December 2016. Chief Goold has been with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department for 23 years, serving as the Police Chief in Rancho Cordova during the last three years.

“My time serving the Rancho Cordova community as its Police Chief over the past three years has been an absolute pleasure and the best three years of my career,” said Chief Goold. “I am a resident of Rancho Cordova, as well as Police Chief, so while I will miss serving the community in that capacity, I look forward to still being a part of this community post-retirement.”

The announcement was made during the November 21st City Council meeting by City Manager Cyrus Abhar.

“Chief Goold will be sorely missed,” said Cyrus Abhar, Rancho Cordova’s City Manager. “As Chief of Police, he has implemented many new programs that have made our community a safer and more vibrant place. Chief Goold is a conscientious leader whose contributions will be felt for years to come.”

During his tenure, Chief Goold started the City’s Adopt-a-School Program, an innovative initiative aimed at building relationships of trust between students and officers. In addition, at the City Council’s request, Chief Goold put in place a unique proactive policing team in Rancho Cordova –the Crime Suppression Unit (CSU). The CSU team focuses on proactively reducing violent crime and conducting undercover operations to reduce other types of crime.

“Chief Goold has been the best kind of law enforcement leader, policing with both an eye toward the public safety, as well as a heart toward building community,” said Mayor David Sander. “We wish Chief Goold well in his retirement, and thank him for his excellent service to our community.”
