The Edmonds Police Department has named two new assistant chiefs of police.

Loi Dawkins has 20-plus years of experience and comes to Edmonds from the King County Sheriff’s Office. She started her work with the department April 6 and oversee the Administrative Services division.

Rod Sniffen, who began March 16, has 30-plus years of experience from the Everett Police Department. He is in charge of the Field Services division.

  1. Congratulations to new ACOPs Loi Dawkins and Rod Sniffen. I hope they can maintain the high quality of policing Edmonds citizens are used to.

    Thanks to acting ACOP’s Josh McClure and Shane Hawley for jobs well done, as usual.

  2. Congratulations to our new ACOPs. Assistant Chief Dawkins and I were in the same MPA cohort years ago at UW’s Evans School of Public Policy & Governance. We’re lucky to benefit from her experience, as she moves into her new role serving Edmonds!
