Beverly Hills residents can formally welcome their new police chief in person on Monday, August 10, when Max Subin takes the oath of office at a public ceremony at City Hall.
The Beverly Hills City Council and Police Department announced the swearing-in on Monday, July 21, inviting the public to attend from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on the Crescent Drive side of City Hall at 455 N. Rexford Drive.
Subin, a 27-year department veteran, was promoted to chief effective June 27, succeeding Mark Stainbrook, who retired after nearly five years leading the department. The August 10 ceremony marks his official public installation, roughly six weeks after he assumed command.
"I am thankful to Ryan, the City Council, members of BHPD and the community for the support and trust they have placed in me," Subin said in the city's June 23 press release announcing his promotion. "I pledge that the safety of this City will always be priority number one."
City Manager Ryan Gohlich praised Subin's relationships within the community when announcing the promotion in June.
Who is Max Subin?
Subin joined the Beverly Hills Police Department in 1999 and worked his way through Patrol, the Crime Suppression Unit, and the Detective Bureau before moving into executive leadership. He was promoted to lieutenant in 2018, assigned to the Office of the Chief as executive officer and public information officer in late 2020, and named captain in 2021.
He now leads 154 sworn officers and 112 civilian staff, according to the city's official profile of the chief.
His career honors include the 2008 Clinton H. Anderson Award, the 2012 Rotary Club Officer of the Year, and a 2019 Centurion Award for Excellence in Hate Crimes Investigations from the Peace Officers Association of Los Angeles County.
In his first weeks as chief, Subin has overseen a department-wide speed enforcement campaign throughout July, with additional officers on patrol targeting speeding drivers as part of what the department called National Speed Prevention Month.
How to attend
The swearing-in ceremony is free and open to the public. Residents can attend at Beverly Hills City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, on Monday, August 10, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
