Mayfield, KY – Mayfield Police Chief Barry Rice issued his resignation yesterday citing plans to rejoin the ranks of the Kentucky State Police. Mayor Teresa Cantrell says during his year and a half tenure, Rice made a positive impact on the force.
"We just wish him the best of luck," Cantrell says. "He did a lot of good things in our Police Department that we are hoping to continue and I think with the leadership from within the department we can do that."
The city today posted the listing within the department. Cantrell hopes to replace Rice from within Mayfield's current police personnel to avoid any unnecessary delay.
