Newport Beach Police Chief Joseph Cartwright Answers the Community ’ s Questions
By Richard Simon | NB Indy
To be an outstanding leader , one has to have learned from and been led by outstanding leaders .
And that evolution is no doubt one of the reasons why 51-year-old Joe Cartwright is now chief of the Newport Beach Police Department .
His leadership skills were first formed over four years with the United States Marine Corps , where he was assigned to the Corps ’ security forces and Close Quarters Battle Team aboard the nuclear aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln .
He was deployed twice to Operation Desert Storm . Subsequent assignments included Operation Fiery Vigil ( a humanitarian challenge after the massive explosion of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines ) and Operation Restore Hope in Somalia ( after the famed Black Hawk Down incident ).
Enlistment completed , and with deep respect for military law and order , Cartwright joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1999 , first serving in the department ’ s Pacific Division for one year , followed by two years at the 77th Street Division in South Central , before navigating south to join the Newport Beach PD in 2002 .
Along the way , he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from California State University , Long Beach , then went on to receive a Master of Arts Degree in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix .
He also is a graduate of several advanced law enforcement training courses , including the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute , the Force Science Institute Certification Course , several executive development courses for both California POST and the California Police Chiefs Association , and the California Police Chiefs Executive Leadership Institute at Claremont Graduate University ’ s Drucker School of Management .
Despite all his certificates of advanced training and his university sheepskins , it was his matriculation from the streets that helped to shape the officer now leading the 235 employees of the Newport Beach Police Department .
Eight months into his job , Cartwright answers questions suggested by members of the community :
NB INDY : You inherited a fine department : how do you think you can / will make it better ? CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : I am so proud to be a part of the Newport Beach Police Department . Our team is comprised of an extremely bright and talented staff of officers , professional staff , and volunteers . The Department , along with the entire City team , is thriving . That is due in part to our philosophy of constant and never-ending improvement .
NB INDY : How do you define community policing ?
Newport Beach Police Chief Joseph Cartwright
CHIEF CARTWRIGHT : Community policing is something the Newport Beach Police Department has been practicing for many , many years . The most important aspect of community policing is to build a relationship of trust and cooperation within the community . When the public trusts their police department , they are more likely to call us with their thoughts and concerns , which then allows us to tailor our service to meet their needs and protect the community . Ultimately , our mandate is to harness that relationship in order to
