New Arlington police leader
Jon Ventura has been named the first deputy chief of the Arlington Police Department. He started in that role this week.
Ventura, 39, previously was a detective sergeant. He has worked for the city since 2000 and also served in the military. A ceremony is planned at the Feb. 17 City Council meeting.
The new position is part of an ongoing two-year overhaul of the police department.
