Cal Poly held the swearing-in ceremony for its new police chief this morning.
Robert Plastino brings nearly three decades of experience in public safety with the Santa Barbara county sheriff’s office in various capacities.
“I’m excited to be here,” says Chief Plastino. “I have got a great department to work with. I have a great boss that has stood in my shoes before, which is unusual. That’s not something that normally happens. Chiefs come in and they don’t get to work directly for the previous chief. So that’s a positive. That means that it’s going to be a seamless operation.”
