After two years of service, Kirk Riggs announced he will be stepping down from his role as Bartonville’s Chief of Police.
“We are grateful for his strong leadership, professionalism and commitment to public safety during his tenure,” said Bartonville Mayor Jaclyn Carrington.
Riggs will continue his work with the town as the town administrator, which is responsible to the Town Council for the proper management and administration of all affairs of the Town as set forth by Town ordinances, resolutions and other directives as established by the Town Council, and applicable state law.
Carrington said Riggs has “already demonstrated steady leadership and a clear vision for our community’s future.”
According to the town, he will also maintain his peace officer license through the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, which ensures that he will remain connected to the law enforcement profession.
Riggs has worked in law enforcement for 47 years.
“The Council and I extend our sincere thanks to Chief Riggs for the many positive changes he has brought to our police department,” said Carrington.
