Summary

City Manager Nathaniel Trey Davis selected Cameron Afsall as Greensboro's next police chief after a national search; Afsall brings decades of law‑enforcement experience and is scheduled to start May 13.

City Manager Nathaniel Trey Davis has selected Cameron Afsall as the next police chief for the City of Greensboro, the city's weekly bulletin announced. Afsall is expected to begin his duties on May 13.

The appointment follows a national search. Afsall began his law‑enforcement career with the U.S. Capitol Police in 1991 and spent 24 years with the Arlington County (Va.) Police Department. He later served as police chief in Durango, Colorado, and in Hopewell, Virginia, and in December 2021 became director and chief of the Dayton, Ohio, Police Department.

Afsall holds a Bachelor of Science in economics from George Mason University and a Master of Public Administration with a concentration in criminal justice from Troy University in Alabama. City materials distributed in the FYI Weekly program list his career stops and education as part of the announcement.

The appointment is a personnel action by City Manager Nathaniel Trey Davis; the FYI Weekly bulletin presented the selection and Afsall's start date but did not include a recorded statement from Afsall or Davis in the program. Residents seeking more detail on the transition or community outreach plans may consult the City of Greensboro communications office or the city's official website for follow‑up statements and scheduling for any public introductions.
