Chief John Schaefer

Chief of Police John Schaefer joined the San Marino Police Department in October 2007 with impressive credentials. He earned an Associates Degree in Police Science, a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from CSULB, and a Masters in Public Administration from USC. Outside the classroom, he distinguished himself during 24 years with the Cypress Police Department and 6 years with the Seal Beach Police Department, including 3 years as its Chief of Police.

Chief Schaefer is a native Californian who enjoys jogging, racquetball, movies, working in his yard, and time with his family. His wife Kaetchen is a homemaker, illustrator and part-time librarian. They have three daughters, Tina (25), Gabrielle (22) and Kristen (17, and a high school basketball player).

The first six months as Chief of Police have presented a number of interesting challenges. We welcome him and his insights on these experiences as well as his thoughts on the issues facing San Marino in the future.

San Marino City Club, commonly called "City Club," is a community and civic organization, which has served San Marino since 1926.  Its purpose is to secure for the citizens of San Marino Unified School District the best civic, educational and cultural services and facilities possible, and to encourage and promote the highest standards of citizenship among its membership. 

Founded as the San Marino Civic Improvement Association, the organization was renamed San Marino City Club and met for many years exclusively at Southwestern Academy.  City Club now meets at the Huntington Middle School Cafeteria or the San Marino High School Cafeteria, with an annual September barbecue meeting, traditionally at Southwestern Academy.

City Club is limited to residents of the San Marino Unified School District, officials of the School District or the City of San Marino, and persons who conduct their business or profession within the School District.  Membership is granted in strict order of application.  Annual dues, including eight regular dinner meetings, are $105.
