Jerry DeLong was appointed Craig chief of police in February 2018.
Craig Chief of Police Jerry DeLong submitted his letter of resignation this week, according to City Manager Peter Brixius.
According to Brixius, DeLong’s resignation will be effective March 1.
News of the resignation came Thursday, with the three-year chief stepping down from the department, of which he was a member for 35 years total.
“We wish Jerry well,” Brixius said. Brixius later declined to comment further on the move, stating personnel matters within city employment are confidential.
When asked for comment Thursday afternoon, DeLong declined, stating that his legal representation has advised him not to comment on the issue.
