Residents interested in the Phoenix Police Chief hiring will have a opportunity to ask questions and meet the chief finalists at a moderated public forum from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 6, in the Phoenix City Council Chambers, located at 200 W. Jefferson Street. During the forum the candidates will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the community and then answer as many questions as possible in a moderated setting.
There are three ways to submit a question:
1.In advance: Send a question via email to contactus@phoenix.gov. Email questions will be accepted beginning Monday, May 23 until 5 p.m. Friday, June 3.

3.At the forum: Residents can attend the public forum and from 5 p.m. until the event begins at 6 p.m. they can submit a written question.
The questions will be reviewed and placed into categories by staff from the City Manager’s Office and Human Resources Department. Although the city cannot guarantee every question will be used at the forum, efforts will be made to focus on recurring topics or themes from the community that generate significant interest.
