There are 11 sworn officers of the Bishop Police Department, not counting Chief Carter and police dispatchers.

In July, Chief Carter announced his plans to retire at the end of September.

Sierra Wave Media contacted the Bishop Police Department for comment from Chief Carter, but he is on vacation. All calls were referred to Bishop City Administrator Jim Tatum. Tatum told Sierra Wave Media the City of Bishop had no comment at this time, but would respond to the letter.
