Our Chattanooga police officers have a very challenging job in seeking to protect us from many kinds of dangers, fighting crime and regulating heavy traffic.
After many years of good service, Chief Freeman Cooper has retired and Mayor Ron Littlefield has made a good choice in calling upon veteran officer Bobby Dodd to serve us as Chattanooga's new police chief.
Chief Dodd was among several respected candidates. He deserves our encouragement and support. There is every expectation he will do a good leadership job for all the people of Chattanooga.
We wish him well.
