Tomorrow will be my last day as acting Chief of Police in Sesser, Illinois. Today was to be my official last court appearance. But case was continued. So I’ll be back in court another day.

I am proud to have served the community of Sesser for four and a half years as Chief and six years total.

I want to thank those community members that supported our department over this time.

Josh Basenberg is to be appointed as my replacement and will grow to be a great Chief of Police.

I’m proud to have served and thank Mayor Jason Ashmore for his faith in me over my time as Chief.

I am on to another chapter in my life. I appreciate your prayers and thoughts of blessings.
