"As a Santa Cruz County resident, Watsonville holds a special place in my heart, he said. It is a beautifully diverse, hard-working and family-oriented community. I will lead with accountability, compassion and respect, and continue strengthening the community trust and relationships that are already a hallmark of the Watsonville police."
"But we're excited for him and for the (Watsonville) department gaining such a strong chief, Joseph said. His leadership made us better, and I know he'll do the same there."
Brian Shab is expected to assume the role of Watsonville chief of police early next year. He is a native of East San Jose, served eight years in the military, and joined the San Jose Police Department in 1998. He has managed teams, led major divisions, and earned awards including the Medal of Valor, Hazardous Duty Award, and Outstanding Police Duty Award. Shab holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice management from Union University and a Master of Science in law enforcement and public safety leadership from the University of San Diego. He commits to lead with accountability, compassion, respect, and to strengthen community trust; San Jose police leadership praised his impact and said he will be missed.
