City manager Danielle West has selected Mark Dubois to serve as Portland’s next chief of police.

It follows an extensive search and review process.

Dubois still needs to be confirmed by the city council, which will vote on the appointment on Monday.

Portland’s next top cop is currently the chief of police in Braintree, Massachusetts, a position he has held since 2019.

If confirmed, he will begin his service in Portland on July 31.

Maine’s largest city has been without a permanent chief since former chief Frank Clark left the department in Nov. 2021 for a job in private security.

Heath Gorham has been serving as interim chief, but he plans to retire from the department at the end of the month.

The city announced Thursday that Robert Martin would be taking over the role of interim chief after Gorham’s departure.
