Edwin Brock

My name is Edwin “Eddie” James Brock and I currently serve as the Administrative Captain at the San Gabriel Police Department. Prior to coming to San Gabriel, I served as Chief of Police in Arvin, California for eighteen months. I began his law enforcement career in San Diego County where I served for 27 years in the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. I enjoyed a full career, and I held many positions as I progressed through the ranks such as detentions, patrol, traffic, motors, weapons training, K9 to name a few. I honorably retired at the rank of Lieutenant.

In 2012, I graduated from the FBI National Academy, Class #250. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration of Justice from National University. Additionally, I am a proud member of the inaugural cohort at the University of San Diego’s Law Enforcement & Public Safety Leadership program where I earned a Master of Science degree.

My commitment to our profession is to enhance the true title of law enforcement professionals which is peace officer. My way of achieving this is through training, education, accountability, and development. I believe that working towards this end covers a myriad of constructs of what the “cops” should be doing. Officers under my charge will always be encouraged to be proactive on calls, address all issues discovered, and to help people protect their dignity; and above all my officers will hold human life as the most precious commodity we will be privileged to protect.

I enjoy reading, football, music, BBQ/smoking, socializing and several other activities. I have been married to my loving and supportive wife, Phaedra, for twenty-two years and together we have two children.
