With the retirement of our civilian Jail Commander, Brett Evans, Lieutenant Len Chadwick was permanently assigned to lead and manage the day to day operation of the DeSoto Regional Jail. Servicing DeSoto and our regional partners, our jail processed over 4100 arrestees.
Long time Code Enforcement Manager, Charles Humphrey, retired in 2023 and Supervisor Tammy Washington was promoted to replace Humphrey. One full - time Code Enforcement Officer position was added and Animal Control became fully staffed in October.
Thank you to our citizens for partnering with us to maintain order and keep our City safe. Now, more than ever, I encourage each of you to take an interest in your Police Department. Attend the next Citizen Police Academy, come on out and ride - a - long with an Officer for an hour or two, take a tour of YOUR Police Department building, attend a town hall meeting, or become a volunteer.
By all means, get involved and get to know the Officers that serve you each and every day. Thanks to all of our Officers, employees and volunteers that work together to make our Department better and our City safe! Thanks to every one of them for their efforts dealing with the challenges of 2023!
