After six months at the head of the Galt Police Department, Interim Chief Brian Kalinowski will soon pass the role to Lt. Richard âRickâ Small. The official switch will happen on April 26, marking the halfway point of an arrangement put in place after the retirement last year of the previous permanent chief. But Kalinowski and Small said they have been working together to ensure consistent leadership. âSo I expect that when Rick transitions over next Monday that itâll be a seamless transition,â Kalinowski told the Herald. Small noted that while âthe chief has the final say, we operate under the belief that collaborating together and having multiple opinions and talking through issues always produces the best results.â
