SBCUSD Welcomes Daniel Arias, Interim School Distric...

San Bernardino City Unified School District December 18, 2025 Dear SBCUSD Families and Staff, As our current School District Police Chief prepares to retire at the end of December, it is essential that we ensure continuity, stability, and strong leadership during this transition. After careful consideration, I selected an interim chief from among our highest-ranking officers with significant seniority and institutional knowledge, who is  not a candidate in the ongoing search for the position of District Chief of Police. This approach allows us to maintain neutrality and focus while we conduct a thorough and transparent recruitment process. Effective December 31, 2025, Sergeant Daniel Arias will serve as Interim School District Police Chief. Sergeant Arias has been with the San Bernardino City Unified School District for 17 years and in his current leadership role for nearly four years. His desire to support and uplift our students, along with his dedication, compassion and commitment to service makes him the ideal choice to serve as interim. In this role, Sergeant Arias will provide steady leadership and support to our schools, staff, students, and families while we continue our search for our next permanent chief. My goal is to have selected a new District Chief of Police by February 2026.  As we move forward in this process, it is our intent to make our selection based on the values and beliefs our District holds dear. Rest assured, we are seeking a leader who demonstrates a strong commitment to community engagement and trust, cultural competence, experience in school-based policing, exemplary leadership, and the highest standards of integrity. Thank you in advance for your patience and continued support in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. Mauricio V. Arellano Superintendent Produced and Distributed by the SBCUSD Communications/Community Relations Department
