Another new police chief is coming to a Ventura County community. Steve Jenkins will become the new Ojai Police Chief in early April.
Jenkins has been with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office since 2000. The captain has done everything from working as a patrol deputy to serving as a homicide detective. He also managed the forgery and sex crime units.
Jenkins will take over the Ojai post from Trina Newman, who is being promoted to commander. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office has a contract to provide law enforcement services for Ojai.
Earlier this week, KCLU reported that Nick Odenath will be the new Moorpark Chief of Police.
