Lancasterâs interim police chief would like to shorten that title.
John T. Bey, who was in his sixth day on the job Monday, made it clear he wants the job full-time.
âIâm not here to keep the seat warm,â said Bey, 56.
While heâs still assessing the department, he said during a 45-minute interview that heâs not aware of any problems.
âI want people to know that this is a great police department. I want people to know from the top down â from the mayor all the way down to our community service folks â that this is a professionally run, integrity driven police department who cares about this community. And Iâm just part of that,â he said.
