About The Position

It also supports fire operations and investigations and coordinates with other City agencies on fire- and life-safety matters.

Reporting directly to the Deputy Bureau Head, the successful candidate provides executive-level leadership and strategic oversight of the Licensed Public Assembly Unit (LPPA), ensuring that its operations align with Bureau and Department missions, policies, and priorities.
