Board accepts police promotion and detective‑unit transfers
Summary
The Hammond City Board of Public Works and Safety approved a promotion and two transfers in the police department after reading correspondence from Chief Jeffrey Long, noting the promotion is effective 04/10/2025 and specialty pay adjustments for detectives.
The Hammond City Board of Public Works and Safety on April 16 accepted written recommendations from Police Chief Jeffrey Long to promote Captain Christopher Godi to assistant chief (effective 04/10/2025) and to transfer Corporals Lindsey Fritz and Crystal Taylor into the detective bureau with detective specialty pay.
Chair (speaker 1) read the correspondence into the record and then the board voted to approve the personnel changes by voice vote. The chair also recorded a conflict disclosure earlier in the meeting: "If there's anything on the agenda today to that has anything to do with the police department, I will not participate in the vote." That disclosure was noted before the personnel items were considered.
The board did not discuss personnel pay details beyond the letter; no additional public testimony was offered and the motion passed by voice vote. Staff will process the pay adjustments and personnel records as directed by the chief's correspondence.
