October 1st is creeping up, and I can honestly say I’m excited and ready to get started as your Chief of Police.
But before I step into this position, I want to hear from you, the community.
I have my own ideas and goals, but I believe being a good Chief starts with listening to the people I serve. I want to know what you expect from me, what you would like to see from your Police Department, and how you would like to see Chillicothe grow moving forward.
I already know traffic and the red light are concerns, and those are definitely on my radar. But I want to hear about the other things, the things you see every day that may need attention, improvement, or simply need to be cleaned up.
What can we do better?
What would make you feel safer?
What would you like to see improved around town?
What can we do to bring our community closer together?
I’m not coming into this position expecting the community to work for me. I’m coming in ready to work for the community and alongside the community.
Chillicothe may be a small town, but that doesn't mean we can't have big goals for it. I want our kids to be proud of where they come from, our residents to be proud of where they live, and our Police Department to be something this community knows it can count on.
So please, give me your feedback. The good, the bad, and the things you believe need some work. I’m listening.
I’m excited for this next chapter, and even more excited to see what we can accomplish together. 💙
I'm very transparent, so I'm going to need people to speak up.
I won't to add to this post, Code Enforcement will be put into place as well. So, if you have broke down vehicles in your yard or your grass that is knee high, you will be seeing me. We need to clean up the community.
