(Paid for by the Tim Wyatt for Jonesboro Police Chief campaign) 

I, Tim Wyatt, am running for the office of  Police Chief for the Town of Jonesboro based on my experience in law enforcement and my lifelong care and concern I have for this town and its citizens.

If elected, I plan to work with the mayor and city council to reinstate the police force to a 24 hour department to provide the best services and protection for our town. I would also make sure that all full time officers receive their POST certification through an accredited police academy which will not only benefit the department but the officer as well when they are able to receive their supplemental pay from the state.

I would like to see each officer be supplied with the proper equipment to enable them to better perform their duties. It’s true you learn a lot as an officer on the job, however training will be important for the department as well to keep up with the changing times and updated laws.

I plan to create an environment where officers are happy with their leadership and duties plus a department that the community respects and trusts. The police department has become more involved with our community over the past few years and I will continue to implement these programs so that we can build better relationships within the community. We as officers need to be seen as approachable to build trust with the residents. A community that has a good relationship between law enforcement and its citizens is a successful community.

With this being said I kindly ask for you to Vote #70, Tim Wyatt on November 8th.
