The Boerne Police Department has found its new chief in 22-year BPD veteran Steve Perez, who is set to become the city’s sixth police chief since the position was established in 1953.
Perez will be filling the shoes of former BPD Chief Jim Kohler, who retired from the police force in October to run for the Kendall County Precinct 2 justice of the peace position. He had been Boerne’s police chief for about 10 years.
BPD officer Jeff Page has served as the interim chief of police since Kohler stepped down, but he is set to retire Feb. 26. That’s when Perez officially will take on his new role as chief, information from the city stated.
