Falls' new top cop pushes training, technology
Falls' newest police chief isn't waiting long to take initiative with the department.
Chief Nelson Whitney, a 33-year member of the department, said he has several plans for it following his appointment to the role this month.
“It’s great to be in a position to work hard to make the organization better," he said. “This is the ultimate job to have to do that."
Whitney, who was previously a lieutenant, was appointed acting chief after former Chief William Wilcox retired last fall.
This month, the "acting," was dropped from Whitney's title. Now officially in the role, Whitney is looking for ways to improve the 53-member department.
