Glynn County Commissioners announced Saturday a collaboration with Community First Planning Commission to address concerns raised by community members about the hiring process for a new Glynn County Police Chief.

One of the first fruits of that collaboration is the county commission’s commitment to integrating the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, or NOBLE, into the hiring process. This comes after the commission voted last month to hire the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police to manage the candidate search and evaluation.
