Police Chief Magda Fernandez, a 21-year department veteran, was sworn in Thursday morning
The Harbor Police Department has a new top cop — a 21-year veteran of the seaside department.
Fernandez joins a small group of women who have ascended to the position of police chief in the region, including Betty Kelepecz, who became the Harbor Police Department’s first woman chief in 2003. Fernandez will be one of two women chiefs across the county. The other is Chula Vista police Chief Roxana Kennedy.
Over the years, Fernandez has led various units with the department, including patrol, investigations and intelligence, and professional standards and training. She was a detective on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and helped establish the department’s Terrorism Liaison Officer program, which educates officers and the public about potential terrorism and other criminal activities.
In 2018, Fernandez was awarded the Port’s 2018 Chairman’s Cup Award for her peer support work and was named Harbor Police Department Officer of the year in 2008. She earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Colorado Technical University and recently graduated from the National Command & Staff College Leadership Program.
