Police Chief Update

Ruston Mayor Bruce Hopkins confirmed today that he has appointed Sergeant Jeremy Kunkel as interim chief again. You will recall Chief Sharon Reese left the department just before Christmas to join her husband on the east coast. There were three finalist interviewed for the position in December, but none were chosen. The position has been advertised again.

The mayor said there are 4 new applications and he is pleased with their caliber. Applications close on January 31st and the civil service commission will begin their process. I think there was supposed to be a civil service meeting tonight. I'll post any information I can gather about their discussion soon.

I'm pleased with Jeremy's caliber. Jeremy has been elevated to the "interim chief" every time the position opens and he has done a great job. He's the one that carries the ball every time someone drops it. Doesn't his consistancy and professionalism count for anything?

The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence!
