Chattanooga Police Department Announces Departmental Promotions

  • Tuesday, December 13, 2016
Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher announced several promotions within the Chattanooga Police Department. 

A total of 37 officers have been promoted which includes six new captains, eight new lieutenants and 23 new sergeants.

"These promotions represent the first from a new promotional process since I became Chief at CPD.
I have every bit of confidence in these talented officers to continue to lead and mentor their fellow officers as well as serving and protecting our community," Mr. Fletcher said. "These fine officers are committed to making their community a better place for all and continuing to develop relationships with our neighbors."

This promotional process is also a first under the Recruiting, Engagement, Selection, Transfer, Assignment and Retention Team (RESTART). This initiative is a community-based working group established, in part, to assist with the promotional process by establishing and implementing fair and equitable processes for internal transfers and promotions.
