Program Details
Chief Doll was promoted by Mayor Kelli Linville effective December 1, 2017 when Clifford Cook retired. He had been Deputy Chief for 12 years, with an entire career devoted to local police work here. Doll and the Command Staff have developed a Mission Statement, "Committed to Community” that he’ll talk about, along with information about the police department’s relationship and service to the business community. The Police Chief actively provides leadership, direction, and general administrative oversight to the Department and employees responsible for police protection and law enforcement services within the jurisdictional boundaries of Bellingham, for the operation of the County-wide public safety emergency dispatch center, and for cooperative relationships and initiatives with regional law enforcement agencies.
Chief Doll started with BPD in 1980 as an explorer cadet and was hired as a commissioned officer in 1984. His experience includes patrol, K9, school resource officer, investigations, organizational/field training, bicycle patrol, and first-level and middle management leadership. He has served as Deputy Director of the City's 911 Center and as Emergency Manager, and he was awarded a departmental medal of valor while in K9. Doll is a life-long Whatcom County resident and attended Sehome High School, Whatcom Community College, WWU and Columbia College. He also is a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command.
