The Alameda County Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to appoint the county’s interim chief probation officer as the newest permanent chief following a nationwide search, county officials said.
Marcus Dawal served as interim chief since May of last year and has more than 23 years of experience with the county’s probation department.
He started his career in the department as a group counselor and rose over the years to deputy probation officer, unit supervisor, division director, deputy chief and assistant chief before serving in the interim role.
“The board is please to announce the unanimous appointment of Chief Probation Officer Dawal after a national recruitment,” Alameda County Board of Supervisors President Keith Carson said in a statement after the Oct. 18 appointment. “We are confident he will continue to provide the leadership to advance the department’s vision, evidence-based programs and collaborative partnerships.”
