For the second time since Taylorsville leaders announced they will form their own police department, the city has hired a police chief although that new department doesn’t begin operating for another six months.
Pending formal approval from the City Council on Jan. 6, Brady Cottam will be the chief of the Taylorsville Police Department, a position he was offered earlier this month. It was originally accepted by Tracy Wyant, but he has since decided to retire from the Unified Police Department after battling COVID-19, according to a spokeswoman for Taylorsville City.
