It’s (Finally) Official: Jim Pruitt Is Chief of Police

CAPE CHARLES WAVE

January 11, 2013

Jim Pruitt’s first day on the job as Cape Charles Chief of Police was Tuesday, January 7, according to Town Manager Heather Arcos.

A formal change of command ceremony will be conducted when Town Council meets Thursday, January 16.

Council originally planned to hold the change of command at the December 19 Town Council meeting, but Pruitt did not immediately accept the appointment, causing the Town to go the first week of January without a police chief.

Former Chief Charles “Sambo” Brown retired December 31.

Chief Pruitt’s first order of business is to interview and hire two officers — one to fill his own former position, and the other to replace Dan Bell, who has resigned from the force.
