Long-time Santa Clarita resident Dominick Rivetti will be presented to the City of Beverly Hills City Council June 30 to authorize an employment agreement to serve as Interim Police Chief.

If approved, Rivetti will take over in Beverly Hills following his August 1 retirement after 14 years of service, including nine years as chief of the Bureau of Investigation.

Chief Rivetti has 45 years of law enforcement experience.

Prior to the District Attorney’s office, Rivetti served in the City of San Fernando for 31 years, the last 15 as chief of police. During his tenure, the San Fernando Police Department was well known as a community-friendly, highly effective law enforcement agency.

“Chief Rivetti is the ideal person to guide the Beverly Hills Police Department through this transition,” said Mayor Julian Gold. “He has decades of experience and is well known for his ability to work with diverse groups and find common ground.”

Chief Rivetti will be introduced to the City Council on June 30.

It should be noted that Chief Rivetti will not be considered for the permanent Chief of Police role.

Chief Rivetti will begin the process of implementing recommendations in a recent management report and survey of the Beverly Hills Police Department.

The report made 23 recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the Police Department’s hiring and disciplinary procedures. These recommendations incorporate areas such as recruitment, promotions, the disciplinary process, communication and team building.

Rivetti replaces Chief David Snowden, who retired June 13 after 11 years of service in Beverly Hills.
