McManus Steps Down, Eyes New Role | San Antonio News

After 20 years leading San Antonio’s police force, Chief William McManus is stepping down early—retiring July 10th after a half-century in law enforcement. Instead of fading into retirement, he’s pivoting to Silver Ventures as VP of Security, eager to deploy his decades of experience. He credits building trust with officers and the community as his toughest challenge—and backs Assistant Chief Jesse Salame as his successor, someone who’s earned the department’s insides. Rumors swirl about McManus possibly entering politics, though he leaves that door open. He also emphasizes the need for better collaboration with the DA’s office to reform how crimes are prosecuted and prevent recurring tensions.
