Hartford, Ala. (WDNews) – The Hartford City Council has officially appointed a full-time police chief after months of deliberation.
During a special called meeting Monday night, the council unanimously selected Scott Gaston Sr. for the position. The vote had been postponed from last week’s meeting.
Gaston Sr., who currently works in law enforcement in Daytona Beach, Fla., brings extensive experience to the role. He was chosen from a pool of five finalists for the job.
Interim Chief Brent Parrish has been leading the department since October following the resignation of former Chief Pete Markow.
