On this episode of the Rancho Cordova Podcast, we introduce you to the new Rancho Cordova Police Chief, Matthew Tamayo who took over the reigns as RCPD Chief from Chief Brandon Luke in December 2023. Chief Tamayo is no stranger to Rancho Cordova, having had three previous stints at RCPD as Sergeant, Lieutenant and Assistant Chief under Brandon Luke.
Matthew Tamayo started his law enforcement career with the Sacramento Sheriff's Office 24 years ago, and has held numerous assignments including Corrections, Patrol, Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Officer, Gang Detective, Narcotics Detective, Internal Affairs, and most recently as the Commander of the Training and Education Division. Tamayo also previously served the Rancho Cordova Police Department (RCPD) as a Patrol Supervisor, Patrol Watch Commander, Operations Commander and Assistant Police Chief.
Chief Tamayo has been committed to building relationships and trust through community involvement and transparency throughout his career. With his experience previously working as a sergeant and lieutenant in the City of Rancho Cordova, and knowledge of the diverse neighborhoods, The Rancho Cordova Police Department is in great hands under his leadership.
We really enjoyed getting to know Chief Tamayo and we hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed speaking with him.
