I would like to express my appreciation for all who have come before me. I am sincerely honored to join my predecessors in serving as your Chief of Police. Since coming to Everman, I have had the privilege of getting to know three former Chiefs of our department and have worked closely with my immediate predecessor Craig Spencer. As a new Chief, to have the opportunity to interact with these men, to learn from their knowledge and history, is an uncommon blessing.

There is something special about our town and you quickly realize it’s the people. When I joined the Everman Police Department, I was greeted by a staff dedicated to serving the citizens in a fair and equitable manner. I also began meeting our partners in the safety of our town, our residents. The interaction and cooperation between city government and residents is the basis for a town’s growth and success. Our officers are here to protect, to help foster an environment of safety, and we strive to enhance the partnership with our residents.

While there are considerable hardships in today’s society, Everman is fortunate to have so many people invested in keeping our town safe, welcoming and enjoyable for our families. We strive to dispel misconceptions about police officers through fairness and equity. I am truly proud of our officers and sincerely honored by the opportunity to help guide the department forward. As you see our officers around town and especially at our public events such as the Celebrate America festival, our Christmas Tree Lighting and of course our annual National Night Out event in October, please say hello and introduce yourself. We look forward to seeing you.

Thank you for your support and trust.
