94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson says he is proud of the growth of the EPD, which during his time as chief is best evidenced by personnel.
“We were right around 52 when Chief Land on his last day, my first day, requested five additional personnel, which was granted, and that was the beginning of the growth, and our current authorized strength is 90 officers,” Thompson said.
Thompson’s leadership of the department was recognized last week when he was presented with the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police Chief of the Year Award.
Thompson credited his team and community for the honor.
“I guess, in one word, it’s just very humbling, and I think it’s more of a testament of all of the teamwork that goes into making this position successful, whether that’s at the EPD, or the mayor, and City Hall, and I think it’s just to me validation that we’re doing things correctly, and that other people are recognizing that,” Thompson said.
Thompson says the EPD is aiming for more growth, beginning with expansions and renovations at 300 South Mulberry Street.
“From a structural standpoint, we’re really looking forward to getting the growth of the building and the additional building out back for these new personnel, and then what we’re going to be doing here in the very near future is sitting down with the leadership team at the EPD and begin working on our next five year plan,” Thompson said.
The EPD said in a post on their Facebook page: “Since joining us in 2019, Chief Thompson has led with remarkable leadership, courage, and wisdom during one of the greatest periods of growth in our department’s and city’s history. We are blessed to have him, and we’re proud of all the work he has done for our community.”
