'Glad to be here': New Centerville Police Chief Cedric Duncan talks plans for the future He says he wants to hire the most qualified officers, apply to be a state certified agency and get ahead of growth in the city Author: Sarah Hammond Updated: 7:22 PM EDT April 23, 2021 CENTERVILLE, Ga. — After months of searching, Centerville has a new top cop. We've seen the high turnover with four police chiefs here in Centerville in the last five years, most recently with Former Chief Chief Chuck Hadden retiring last September.
