The swearing of Fort Bragg’s newest police chief opens a new chapter for this coastal town, whose innovative homeless program was praised in a recent grand jury report. Residents said they are hopeful the new chief will continue retired Chief Neil Cervenka’s community-forward activities while increasing transparency around dispatch services, Flock camera use, and more.
