OXFORD â The city of Oxford has begun its search for a new police chief with Alvin Coley set to retire from the position on Aug. 1.
Coley has enjoyed building relationships with Oxfordâs residents and leaders since taking over the police chief position in 2013 but he said that he is ready to start a new chapter in his life following a distinguished career in law enforcement.
