After just-shy of five years on the job, Fortuna’s nunchuck-trained police chief is moving on to fight crime on more-affluent streets. 

Earlier today, the Fortuna Police Department announced that Chief Casey Day has landed the gig as police chief of Pacific Grove, a nice, quiet little beach community in Monterey County.

“Congratulations, Chief Day,” FPD posted on Facebook. “The City of Pacific Grove and the Pacific Grove Police Department are lucky to have you. Thank you for all that you have done for us. You will be missed.”

Day is scheduled to begin his new chiefly role on March 31 with a swearing in ceremony at Pacific Grove City Hall set for April 2. The Fortuna Police Department has yet to make any announcement about their future plans.
