Police chief forum set for tonight at City Hall

Posted

Members of the public will have the opportunity to ask questions of the two finalists for Fayetteville police chief during a community forum scheduled for 6 p.m. today at the council chambers at City Hall.

City Manager Doug Hewett last week announced that Kemberle Braden and James Nolette, both assistant chiefs in the Police Department, are the finalists to replace retiring Chief Gina Hawkins.

Hewett, who will make the decision, said he hoped to have the chief named before Christmas.

Candidates are expected to introduce themselves and then be open to questions, city officials have said.

Questions can be submitted anonymously ahead of the session by visiting FayettevilleNC.gov/chiefsearch or in real time during the meeting using an electronic form or scanning a QR code.
