First off, our police department has never been our first responder. The main reason we have a police chief is to deter crime in our city by riding around in our Dodge Charger and enforcing our city ordinances. However, moving forward, I have hired George Stewart as the city code enforcer who will write city citations and work with residents to follow the ordinances. Mr. Stewart came highly recommended by our neighboring cities of Lyndon,  Beechwood Village, and Richlawn- just to mention a few. He will continue to do this role even after we hire our next police chief. Here's what I'm looking for in our next Police Chief:

• Part-time position of about 80 hours per month
• Hours (days, nights and weekends) can be flexible
• Sworn police officer
• Main emphasis of city street patrol (they will no longer be required to write citations for code violations such as parking on the street and grass height)
• Must have strong interpersonal skills
• Take home car
• Salary $26-$39 per hour (depending on experience/training etc.)

If you know of a recently retired police officer, that may be looking for additional income as they settle into retirement, Woodlawn Park might be a good place for them. Please have them reach out to me as soon as they can. My city cell phone # is (502) 341-1004.

In the meantime, if you have an emergency or a police matter, please call (502) 574-LMPD.
