Beginning in 1970 the City of Humble Police Department promoted its first Assistant
Chief of Police. This management position would sometimes remain vacant for over a decade before the next promotion to fill it. During
these intervening years, the upper management of the department would become the responsibility of the Captain and Lieutenants within
the department to fill the management void.

 The first Assistant Chief of
the Humble Police Department was Jack L. Theis; he was promoted to this position which he held from
1970 to 1971. It was in 1971 that he was appointed Humble Chief of Police, after the retirement of Chief Evans. |
