PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The city of Portage didn’t go far to find their new public safety chief.
The city council will be asked to confirm Matt Wolfe, the current assistant police chief, to take over the job, now that Chief Nick Armold is about to retire.
Wolfe joined the city’s department as a police officer in 1996 after graduating from Grand Valley State University and their police academy. He has also gotten additional training at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Staff and Command and the FBI National Academy.
Once the council confirms the city manager’s appointment Tuesday evening, Wolfe is expected to immediately be administered the Oath of Office.
He will become both the police and fire chief of Portage, overseeing both operations.
