A few words from Chief Jerrell

First of all I want to thank the community for their support. I have received an over whelming response of positive remarks, and I would like to reply by saying, they are greatly appreciated and respected.

Serving the Linton community is my primary goal as your Chief. I hope we can all work together in making Linton a better and safer place to live. It is the relationship between the community, and the Department, all working together with the same goal that this can be accomplished.

It is my opinion this is not a one way street. The sharing of information between the community and law enforcement keeps one another educated against the criminal element. Communication is one of the best ways to protect ourselves and our community. Most crimes are solved by the assistance of someone in our community that shares the information they have. This can be done in many different ways such as calling our office or calling the Crime Stopper Hotline. In return it is our duty to transfer the information we have gathered and forward that information to the court system. We can inform the public about the most current and up to date scams, fraud and criminal methods taking place in our area.

As we endeavor to make Linton better and a safer place. Let us remember, it takes team effort and the Linton Police Department welcomes public input. My door is always open. We are in this together and working towards the same goal, making Linton a great place to live and raise a family.

Sincerely,

Troy R. Jerrell
