THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
After a closed session, the board voted unanimously to hire Michael Brown as the new Chief of Police, and he was sworn in at the May 11, 2026 meeting. His official start date will follow a two-week notice period to his current employer, with the mayor suggesting he can begin coming in after Memorial Day to get keys, combinations, and uniforms arranged.
A leadership change at the head of the police department often precedes updates to policies, equipment, and technology as the new chief assesses needs. Vendors providing law enforcement technology, body cameras, records management systems, training, and equipment can monitor Kincaid for upcoming changes and position themselves as partners as Chief Brown develops his priorities and budget requests.
Police agenda items earlier in the meeting were deferred, suggesting additional operational decisions may await the new chief’s input.
