City of Macedonia Mayor Nicholas Molar is honored to announce that Vince Yakopovich has been selected as the next Chief of the City of Macedonia Police Department. Vince Yakopovich has served the Macedonia Police Department with distinction for several decades as Lieutenant and was selected as the most qualified candidate for the position after competing in rigorous testing pursuant to City and State civil service rules. The testing was specifically designed and administered by independent reviewers to select the best and most able candidate to be promoted to the position of Police Chief, and involved both written and oral examination components.
Chief Yakopovich will be officially sworn in at the upcoming March 9, 2023 City Council meeting. Mayor Molar, in commenting upon his selection of Yakopovich as Chief of Police, highlighted Chief Yakopovich’s commitment to the City and its residents over his several decades of service to the Community as a law enforcement officer. “Chief Yakopovich possesses the skill and extensive knowledge needed for the position, and to continue modernizing the Macedonia Police Department.” The Mayor also conveyed his confidence that Chief Yakopovich will continue working to ensure that the City of Macedonia, its residents, and its businesses continue to receive top-level service from the Police Department. “We all look forward to working with him in the years to come.” Chief Yakopovich takes the helm at the Macedonia Police Department after former Chief Jon Golden’ retirement earlier this year.
Any questions can be directed to the City of Macedonia Mayor’s Office.
Mayor Nicholas Molnar
