Chief Dolan to Retire

I was surprised to read of the imminent retirement of Raleigh Police Chief Harry Dolan. As the former chair of the East CAC, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chief Dolan and will miss his innovative leadership. I look forward to learning what he plans to do next!

City Manager J. Russell Allen today announced the retirement of Chief of Police Harry P. Dolan, effective Oct. 1. Chief Dolan’s retirement after five years as police chief caps a law enforcement career spanning 32 years and a tenure that brought progress to the department.

“Harry Dolan has been an excellent police chief for Raleigh, but more importantly, he has been an exceptional leader,” Mr. Allen said. “His high level of technical and strategic law enforcement skills are matched by his unwavering ethical standards, commitment to the community, pride in the department’s employees, and enthusiasm for police work.”
