We want to congratulate Chief Galer on his appointment as chief of Pittsburg Police Department, Pittsburg, CA We look forward to working with him and the rest of the department in their efforts to keep Pittsburg a place to do business.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

City of Pittsburg Appoints Captain Phil Galer as Next Chief of Police

The City of Pittsburg has appointed Captain Phil Galer as the next Chief of Police for the City of Pittsburg’s Police Department. This follows the announced retirement of Chief Steve Albanese, who served the community and Department with distinction for nearly 30 years. The City thanks Chief Albanese for his service and leadership.

Following community engagement, Department input, and an internal recruitment and interview process involving law enforcement executives and the City’s Senior Executive Team, Captain Galer was selected as the next Chief of Police.

“I am confident that Captain Galer is the right person to lead the City of Pittsburg’s Police Department into the future,” said City Manager Darin Gale. “His 25 years of dedicated service, deep understanding of this community, and strong alignment with the Department’s values make him an exceptional leader. I am excited to appoint an internal candidate who is widely respected and committed to strengthening trust, transparency, and public safety.”

Captain Galer has served the Department for 25 years and is recognized for his professionalism, integrity, and commitment to service. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Studies, a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice, and is a graduate of the California POST Command College.

“It is an honor of a lifetime to lead the men and women of the Pittsburg Police Department and continue to be a part of this community,” Captain Galer said. “I am committed to building upon the strong foundation laid by Chief Albanese and ensuring we remain responsive to the needs of our residents and businesses. I look forward to strengthening trust, transparency, and public safety alongside our dedicated staff, City leadership, and the entire Pittsburg community.”

Captain Galer will assume his new role in the coming weeks. Final transition details will be shared later.

The City of Pittsburg invites the community to congratulate Captain Phil Galer on his appointment as Chief of Police.
