That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. During last night's Pikeville City Commission meeting, Pikeville Assistant Chief of Police Chris Edmonds was officially appointed as Chief. Chief Edmonds not only brings years of experience to the position, but one could say it's in his blood. We lost our former Chief to another job in the City of Commission of Public Safety, which was Chief Reed. A whole line of law enforcement and my family, you know, my father was a law enforcement officer. I came into his footsteps in the same position here in Pikeville. He was the Chief of Police here for a long time. Chief Edmonds plans to expand on much of the work of former Chief Reed. Maybe some new ideals that we hadn't looked at prior. You know, we take a big honor in bringing our community into what we do. Chief Reed has done that well as good as anybody could do with the children. I'm going to try to implement maybe bringing our people just to live here, our elderly people into some things and get them involved in what we do. That's one of my big focal points for the first part of my tenure. Chief Edmonds went on to say that it's the patrolmen that deserve all the credit and recognition for what the department has been able to do over the past few years.
