Seal Beach Police Department Capt. Nick Nicholas has been selected for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) 40 Under 40 list, a global recognition honoring young leaders who exemplify leadership, innovation and service in the policing profession.

Nicholas has been with the department for nearly 16 years. He is a Ph.D candidate at the Drucker School of Management and holds degrees in political science and public administration from California State University, Fullerton.

“I am honored, and completely stunned, to receive this award,” Nicholas said in a statement. “While I am incredibly proud, this recognition really belongs to the people around me—mentors, colleagues, officers, professional staff, volunteers, community partners, and my friends and family—who make the work possible.”
