Santa Clara-Ivins officials pick new police chief to replace Bob Flowers, who is leading to become head of security for Black Desert Resort.
• In need of a new police chief, Ivins city officials wasted little time, opting to promote from within rather than conduct a statewide or national search.
In searching for Flowers’ replacement, Mayor Chris Hart said it became evident that the department already had several top-notch officers who were worthy of consideration for police chief waiting in the wings. Even if the city had posted the position statewide and received dozens of applications, he added, it would have been difficult to find someone more suitable than Studley.
For his part, Studley said becoming police chief fulfills a longstanding dream. His first foray into public service in the area was as a volunteer firefighter 22 years ago. When some openings in the police department surfaced several years later, however, Studley recalls picking up an application on then-Police Chief Wade Carpenter’s desk.“And, in my infinite wisdom,” Studley recalled, “I decided to write the words ‘chief of police’ on the paper and handed it in.
“I recognize that I’ve been handed a ship by Chief Flowers that is running very strong in its course,” he said. “I plan on maintaining that course and the trust and support we have from our community. My goal is to never give my community a reason to lose the trust it has in us.”
