The city of Camas is seeking police chief applicants through Nov. 11.
The city’s longtime police chief, Mitch Lackey, announced earlier this year that he plans to retire in February 2023. 

The city’s outreach for a new police chief states Camas is seeking “a collaborative and team-oriented police chief with a customer service mindset … (who has) excellent presentation and public speaking skills and listens attentively to the community and staff.”
