Davis also announced the appointment of Eli Cory as deputy chief of investigations. Cory is a former commander of the West Springfield Police District.
Brooke is phenomenal and my neighbors love her!
Let’s hope she can rise to the occasion. Mason has become very crime ridden, loud noisy and speeding cars rule the roadways and pedestrians are getting killed exponentially.
Good luck, you will need it!
Deputy Chief Wright, Congratulations on your promotion. I know I speak for many from the Mason District and we wish you all the best. Just wish I could give you some cannoli to celebrate. LOL
