Town names Bob Altoff interim police chief for six-month term
Summary
The Town of Greenwood welcomed Bob Altoff as acting interim police chief for six months while the town conducts a search for a permanent chief; council members thanked him and staff outlined recent scheduling and equipment issues in the police department.
The Town of Greenwood announced Bob Altoff will serve as acting interim police chief for the next six months as the town searches for a permanent chief. Moderator (speaker 3) introduced Altoff at the start of the meeting, saying, “we want to, give, warm welcome to Bob Alto He he will be with us for the next 6 months.”
Mayor Domenio Lopez (speaker 1) thanked Altoff and briefed residents on his prior record. “If you have not met chief Bob Altoff, he was with us for several years. He has a distinguished record of honor, dependability, and technical skills as chief, so we're quite lucky to have him back,” Lopez said.
Staff noted the interim appointment will overlap with several staffing and equipment adjustments in the police department, including an ongoing discussion about patrol scheduling and a delay in replacing a weapon that prompted interim adjustments to coverage. Council members expressed appreciation; no formal timetable for selecting a permanent chief was provided during the public portion of the meeting.
The council said Altoff will assume operational duties immediately and will report back at future meetings; the town did not announce hiring timelines or a process for choosing a permanent chief.
