Yesterday, Monday, Nov. 17 was the first day on the job for Cottonwood Shores' new police chief, Tom Williams.
He was hired Tuesday, Nov. 11, by city administration after the city council unanimously approved the city administrator’s recommendation at a special meeting's executive session on Nov. 10.
The city had been on the hunt for a new police chief since Harold Piatt resigned last month.
Williams, a peace officer with 39 years of experience across a plethora of agencies and departments, said his first day was “hectic” because of meetings with Mayor Donald Orr and Sheila Moore (city administrator and city secretary), Burnet County Sheriff W.T. Smith and police chiefs of surrounding municipalities like Horseshoe Bay and Marble Falls.
