Both Deputy Chief Moore and Sergeant Thompson are internal promotions, with Moore
0:31
having been with the Department for fourteen years, and Thompson having been
0:34
with the Department for four. Chief Robert Wood joked that Thompson was
0:39
two years old when Wood started at the department. Moore brings experience
0:44
as a field training officer, SWAT operator, investigator, and sergeant to the
0:48
deputy chief position, and He said he’s looking forward to wearing all
0:52
the different hats that come with the position. There's a lot he
0:55
said. He can learn from Chief Wood. Thomson is younger, a graduate
0:59
of Marquette High School, and a native of Ottawa. He said he's
1:03
excited to work with this group and continue moving forward. For us,
1:08
it's more about the future, Wood said. Seeing the movement that we
1:12
have, we put the right people in the right places to where
1:15
I know that when it's time for me to move on, this
1:18
place will continue moving forward.
