From the Chief’s Desk
As the Police Chief I am here to facilitate change. What does that mean? I chose to become a Chief to make changes in the way Officers interact with the community they police. I also wanted to change the way citizens see the their Officers. I want the community to be proud of their Officers and I want the Officer to be proud of the community they police.

Please feel free to send me any concerns or questions you may have.
