Laurie Scott was sworn in as Timnath police chief at the July 22 Town Council meeting. Mayor Robert Oxmacher introduced Scott, noting she was chosen from nearly 70 applicants and that panels of interviewers ranked her the top candidate. Oxmacher said Scott brings experience, responsiveness and a commitment to transparency.
Scott thanked the town manager, council and selection panels and acknowledged family and friends who traveled to attend the ceremony. In brief remarks she described law enforcement as a calling and said she intends to "stand beside" the men and women of the Timnath Police Department, to lead with integrity and to serve the community. After the oath of office, Council members joined Scott and her father for a ceremonial photo.

Council recessed to regular business after the swearing-in; the ceremony concluded without a formal council vote because the appointment had been completed earlier in the hiring process.
