City of Alice, Texas issued the following announcement on March 27
Following the announcement of Alice Police Chief Aniceto (Cheto) Perez’s retirement, Retired Addison Police Chief Ron Davis has been named Interim Police Chief for the City of Alice.
City Manager Michael Esparza said “Chief Davis brings 40 years of law enforcement to our city but most importantly Chief Davis brings with him the two things I am looking for in an interim Police Chief. The first is having prior experience as a police chief and the second is having prior experience as interim after retirement. I want someone who specializes in the interim work. He retired as Police Chief from the Addison, Texas Police Department in 2015 and in 2017 Chief Davis went on to lead the City of Marshall Police Department for six months until they found a permanent Chief. In 2018, he also was in charge of the Princeton, Texas Police Department for eight months while they looked for a permanent chief. I know from our conversations Chief Davis enjoys the challenges of interim work and I am confident this specialty work experience as well as his permanent police chief experience will be invaluable to our department.
Esparza further stated “Chief Davis, myself, Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator Patrick Thomas have been in contact with each other several times regarding the current COVID-19 situation and Chief Davis, Police Chief Perez and Lieutenant Michael Jaramillo have been in contact this week regarding current department operations.”
