Police Department Staff Changes

At the New Year, staff changes will take place at the American Canyon Police Department (ACPD).

Best of luck to:

Officer Chet Schneider, who aside from a rotation in Narcotics and a year in court security, has spent the majority of his career in American Canyon. Officer Schneider has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant and will assume patrol sergeant duties on weekends at the Sheriff’s Department.

Also, Sgt. Ryan McWilliams, who also has spent the majority of his career at ACPD, as an officer, a motor officer, and more recently as a patrol Sergeant, will be rotating to an Investigations assignment at the New Year.

We wish both of these officers best of luck in their new career endeavors and hope to see them back at ACPD in the future.

ACPD welcomes:

Officer Kevin Walsh graduated a little over a year ago from the Napa Valley College Police Academy. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Chico State University and has worked with the Napa Sheriff’s Department since graduating the academy. Officer Walsh did much of his early training after the academy in American Canyon and is excited to be returning to ACPD as a full time assignment.

Sergeant Brian Kenner is a five-year member of the Sheriff’s Department, part of that as an Officer in American Canyon. Sgt. Kenner brings extensive experience having also worked for several years at the Lake County Sheriff’s Department. Sgt. Kenner is also trained as a Bomb Technician on the Sheriff’s Department's Hazardous Devices Team (“Bomb Squad”). If you see Sgt. Kenner running away from a scene….try to keep up!
