HUNTINGTON — In his 25 years with the Huntington Police Department, Chief Ray Cornwell said he learned about the importance of empathy. Cornwell’s retirement was announced in June. His last day was Friday. Mayor Steve Williams appointed HPD Capt. Eric Corder to serve as interim police chief. Cornwell was appointed to become police chief in April 2020. He spent about four months serving as interim police chief after former Chief Hank Dial became city manager. Cornwell said when he began his career, he did not have plans to become chief of police. “When Hank decided to leave, there was a void and I felt obligated to step up. I had always planned on working 25 years and then retiring, so it was a hard debate on whether I should stay longer or not,” Cornwell said. “But after a lot of deliberation, consideration, discussions with my wife, we just decided it would be better for me and my family to follow through with our plans.”
