Speaker Information

Our speaker John Timoney is a true inspiration to law enforcement, honored with a career full with diverse achievements during his progression from a rookie police officer in NYPD’s 44th Precinct to his former command as Miami’s Chief of Police. Prior to that, he served four years as the Police Commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department, where he commanded approximately 7,000 officers and over 900 civilian employees in the fifth largest metropolitan city in the United States.  The majority of his career, twenty-nine years, was spent as a member of the New York City Police Department where he rose through the ranks to become the youngest four-star chief in the history of the department.

During Chief Timoney’s seven years as Miami Police Chief, he lowered crime in all major categories, strengthened the Department’s integrity, revised procedures for greater accountability, implemented one of the most progressive deadly physical force policies in the country, and reduced the number of police shootings of civilians. He has a wealth of experience in policing and an extensive educational background in law enforcement managerial initiatives.  His talent, knowledge and experience revitalized the Philadelphia Police Department through innovative changes that bolstered professionalism, employee morale, productivity and the relationship with the citizens of Philadelphia. 

He is the recipient of over 67 Department medals, including the prestigious Medal of Valor.  John Timoney rapidly rose through the ranks of the New York Police Department, beginning with a promotion to the rank of Sergeant in 1980.  His career progressed with a promotion to Lieutenant in 1983, Captain in 1985, Deputy Inspector in 1988, Inspector in 1990, Deputy Chief in 1992 and Chief of Department in 1994. 

Recognized for his leadership and operational expertise, Chief Timoney was appointed First Deputy Commissioner on January 13, 1995, the second highest rank in the New York City Police Department.  As First Deputy Commissioner of the New York Police Department, his hallmark accomplishment was the reorganization of the Department including the merger of the New York Police Department with the Transit & Housing Police Departments resulting in a unified City Police Department of 39,000 officers and 9,000 civilian employees.

Chief Timoney is President of the Police Executive Research Forum and serves on the boards of the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Philadelphia University. He is also Co-Chairman of the FBI’s South Florida Joint Terrorism Task Force. 

In 2010, Chief Timoney authored a book, Beat Cop to Top Cop: A Tale of Three Cities, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press.   Copies of his book will be available during a book signing at the meeting for the purchase price of $15.00.
