Chesterfield County, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Chesterfield is going to be looking for a new police chief after a decision by Colonel Jeffrey Katz to retire on May 1.
He will head North to the FBI Academy in Quantico where he will be an instructor at the training division’s leadership development unit. He will work with new agents and senior law enforcement executives from around the world.
“At this juncture in my life, it’s time to give back to a profession I so deeply respect and this new role will give me an opportunity to do that from the broadest possible platform,” Katz said in a press release. “I plan to use what we have built in Chesterfield as a benchmark example of what can be accomplished in local policing and help others answer the call for leadership in their communities.”
Katz will continue his duties with the department until March 31, then take a month of absence through April, according to the release. In the interim, Deputy Chief of Strategic Management Lt. Col. Brad Badgerow will act as chief.
