Congratulations To Chief Bobby Dodd

  • Thursday, December 19, 2013

Congratulations to Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd and his staff for a job well done.  While I am happy for them in their retirement, I am saddened for the city of Chattanooga.  This is a big loss for Chattanooga. 

Chief Dodd and his assistants have worked tirelessly especially in the areas of crime reduction and traffic.  They will be hard to replace.

Personally, it has been a pleasure working with them through the years on police and court issues.  I do consider them not only co-workers in the field of justice but also my personal friends.

I wish each of them well in the future. 

Russell Bean
City Judge
