Below is the story originally published in CVW Thursday morning:

The Crescenta Valley community has been waiting to hear who will fill the position of captain at Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station. It was announced over a month ago that Capt. Dave Silversparre, who has served at the CV Station for five years, would be moving on to the LASD Communications and Fleet Management Bureau. Since that announcement, LASD has been in the process of conducting interviews to fill the position.

Capt. Bill Song has been announced as the new captain for CV Station, said Steve Whitmore, LASD spokesman.

Song has recently been serving in the office of Assistant Sheriff Cecil Rhambo.
