Residents of the City of Winslow are invited to meet the three candidates who are being considered to fill the position of Winslow police chief during a meet and greet at 3 p.m. on Tuesday April 18, at the Winslow Chamber of Commerce (Hubbell Building), located at 523 W. Second St. The position has been vacant since the retirement of Stephen Garnett in August 2016. There were 32 applications received for the position and those were narrowed down to three finalists. They include Conny Clay, a former police chief for the City of Choctaw, Okla., with more than 30 years in law enforcement; Jeffery Cavender, the current police chief for the City of Momence, Ill., also with more than 30 years in law enforcement; and Charles Vazquez, the current assistant chief of police for the City of Houston, Texas, with 22 years career in law enforcement. City administrators will be interviewing these candidates on April 17 and 18, before making their decision.
