The Bonifay Police Department and Bonifay Fire Rescue hosted a meet and greet event to welcome new Chief Jimmy Macon.
The former Chief, Chris Wells, sent a one-line resignation letter to city leaders on May 5th. A long-time officer was also arrested on a battery charge.
The department was disbanded until last week when the city council voted to re-establish the department and hired Macon as chief. Macon was selected out of a pool of around 40 candidates. He said he has 27 years of law enforcement experience under his belt. Macon also served as a police chief in Alabama and Minnesota.“I want everybody to know that Bonifay, the old Bonifay Police, is gone,” the new Bonifay Police Chief Jimmy Macon said. “It’s history. So, what I’m going to do is I’m taking the foundation and building it back up brand new.
