11 years from FNG to Chief? Both of you must have done a damned fine job, and he must have been smart / lucky enough to not have stepped in anything along the way. Major congratulations to both of you for a job obviously very well done!

Thanks gents. Yes, he is a smart guy. Didn't get bogged down with the tactical side, but kept his eyes on the strategic long game. And he went through the tough times as well, divorce, low pay, etc. Being a small town/dept a lot of officers left for greener pastures. But he loved the town and the potential it represented. Of course, it didn't hurt he found his 2nd wife and life partner there and her great family.
