Haymarket police chief, town part ways. Former mayor disputes reasons for dismissal Lands
In a press release, Haymarket officials said they accepted the resignation of Police Chief Kevin Lands.
“Former Chief of Police Kevin Lands was deeply appreciated by many here in the Town of Haymarket. He greatly expanded the Town’s social media presence and built community through events, outreach to businesses, and personal charm,” reads the press release made by the Haymarket Town Council.
“The Town Council’s recent performance evaluation of the Chief, however, noted some problems in the areas of communication, leadership/collaboration/teamwork, problem solving, scheduling, and judgment. Of particular note, questions have arisen regarding the Chief working DMV grant details for extra pay, which has led to the suspension of Town participation in DMV safety grants and a risk that the Town may not be eligible for future DMV grant opportunities.”
