Cottonwood Shores has a new police chief.

On the job since April 10 is Gregory Palmer, a 23-year veteran of law enforcement.

“Cottonwood Shores was blessed with multiple excellent candidates,” said Shiela Moore, city administrator and city secretary. “Mayor Donald Orr, Mayor Pro Tem Stephen Sherry and I interviewed many candidates for the position. We narrowed the results down to our top four candidates and presented them to the council in a special meeting March 28.”

The city council agreed with the opinion of the selection committee and Palmer was invited to become the new chief of the Cottonwood Shores Police Department.

Palmer holds Master Peace Officer’s certification. In addition to positions with the Trinity and Houston police departments, he has served with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
