On this episode of the Carlsbad People, Purpose, and Impact Podcast, the new Carlsbad Chief of Police, Mickey Williams, joined Bret Schanzenbach. Mickey talks about how he joined the police force, the importance of relationships between the police and the community, and the department’s future goals.

At the same time, Mickey worked to complete his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Administration, achieved his master’s degree in Public Administration from SDSU, and was awarded his Juris Doctorate Degree (he is a licensed member of the California Bar). On the home front, Mickey has been married to his beautiful wife, Andrea, for 25 years, and has two amazing daughters, Alana and Malea.
