Pulaski board creates Chief Emeritus role for retiring police chief to assist transition
Summary
The Pulaski board adopted a resolution establishing a Chief Emeritus position for the retiring police chief, who will remain up to six months to advise the incoming chief and report directly to the board; the resolution tasks the board with defining the role’s duties.
The Pulaski board adopted a resolution creating a Chief Emeritus role for the retiring chief of police so the outgoing chief can remain up to six months to assist and advise the incoming chief.
Board members discussed the proposed resolution in which the retired chief would retain the Emeritus title and report directly to the board while the board defines the duties of the role. One speaker said, “he is going to stay for a period of up to 6 months to assist and advise the new chief,” and another clarified the title as Chief Emeritus.
Board member Massey introduced the resolution and a second was recorded. The board then conducted a roll-call vote; the transcript records board members voting in the affirmative and the resolution was adopted. During discussion members asked staff to clarify language in the resolution and to remove the word “police” from the title so it reads Chief Emeritus in the final text.
The resolution is administrative; the board will define the position’s duties and oversight. The transcript indicates the change was adopted and staff will finalize the wording prior to implementation.
