A few months after filling the position, the City of Etowah is now seeking a new chief of police.
Police Chief Jim Shawâs retirement from the Etowah Police Department was accepted during the townâs regular commission meeting on Monday.
Shaw had previously been out of the department on medical leave for some time.
During the meeting, the city commission accepted Shawâs retirement, which technically started on the 11th of this month.
According to Etowah City Manager Tina Tuggle, Shaw will be missed from the City of Etowah.
âAfter extended medical leave, Chief Shaw has decided to take his retirement,â Tuggle said. âThe city is sorry to see him go and we wish him well.â
