Burke Dies; San Diego MTS Police Chief

Bill Burke, 68, chief of police for the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), died June 23.

Burke joined MTS in 2001, was promoted to director of security in 2004 and became its first chief of police in 2011. Before coming to San Diego, he was chief of police for the Cook County ­Sheriff’s Department in Chicago.

MTS Chief Executive Officer Paul Jablonski said Burke “brought many innovations to MTS and helped our system become one of the safest in the nation. More than that, Bill was a gentleman who earned respect from every one of his colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.”
