The Springtown City Council ceremonially recognized Jamie Oliver as the city's new chief of police during its Jan. 22 meeting, with officials praising his decade-plus career and leadership.
The city administrator ceremonially pinned Oliver and recounted his progression from patrol officer to investigator and CID sergeant, saying the promotion reflects "service, and a journey of a leader who has earned this moment through commitment, tireless dedication." The city administrator also noted Oliver took his oath of office on Jan. 3 and that the ceremony that evening was a formal recognition of that promotion.
