The city of San Jacinto has a new police chief this week as Lt. Sue Trevino takes over.
The former chief, Lt. Bill Tyler, is transferring to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Moreno Valley station. The city's law enforcement is provided under contract with the county.
Sheriff's Capt. John Pingel of the Hemet station introduced Trevino to the San Jacinto City Council on Thursday.
Trevino joined the department in 1987. As a deputy, she worked in patrol, narcotics and special investigations. As a sergeant, she worked in patrol and the jail before being promoted to lieutenant four years ago.
She worked in the Coachella Valley before being assigned about 1½ years ago to oversee the western county forensics bureau out of the Perris station.
"She is a great people person," Pingel said.
Trevino described herself as very personable, but also told the council, "I do say it how it is."
