Lompoc will swear in a new police chief and a new fire chief Tuesday evening.
Lompoc Police Captain Larry Ralston will become the city's new police chief. He joined the Lompoc department in 2007 after spending 18 years working on the Santa Maria police force.
Ralston began his career in law enforcement in 1983 with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
