SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Former San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus is shifting into a new role at Pearl<\/a> one week after he started working as head of security for the popular mixed-use development.<\/p>\n

McManus will assist the Pearl in a \u201cconsulting role,\u201d Silver Ventures and Pearl said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the conclusion of his first week, William McManus and Silver Ventures leadership met to assess the role and the security needs of the organization and quickly recognized that his greatest value to Pearl would be through a consulting role rather than a traditional full-time position,\u201d the statement said. \u201cOut of that discussion, both parties mutually agreed on that path and are thrilled to be working together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, McManus said he is \u201cgrateful for the opportunity to continue working with Pearl in a consulting capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have full confidence in the strength of the security operations in place and in the team\u2019s ability to keep things running seamlessly,\u201d McManus said. \u201cI look forward to supporting that work and have nothing but respect for the team and look forward to what we\u2019ll accomplish together.\u201d<\/p>\n

McManus retired from SAPD in July after nearly 20 years leading the department.<\/p>\n
