NATCHEZ, Miss. – City aldermen stalled a proposal Tuesday to seek applicants to be Natchez’ police chief.
Cal Green is serving as interim chief in place of Joseph Daughtry, who resigned last year, but it remains uncertain for how long. Mayor Dan Gibson said Green is “doing a fantastic job, and I believe we need to give her time to prove herself.”
City Attorney Bryan Callaway said there’s no time limit on how long Green can serve as interim chief while the Board of Aldermen remain undecided on a permanent chief. However, Alderman Felicia Irving said it can’t be over three months. Alderman Billie Joe Frazier motioned for the board to now publish ads notifying prospects interested in applying for the job, but aldermen took no action Tuesday on that request.
Green was sworn in last December as Natchez’ first female police chief when Daughtry resigned to take over the Columbus Police Department.
