After much discussion over the last few months, Mayor Eric Haas, Mr. Ron Dill C.A.O., and Fort Thomas Council Members concluded that Lieutenant Casey Kilgore is the most qualified candidate and best fit to lead the Fort Thomas Police Department into the future. With such an impressive candidate within the department, there was consensus that a lengthy and costly external search for a new chief was not necessary. The promotion of Casey will allow for an easy and effective leadership transition.
Mayor Haas stated, “We are grateful to Chief Daly for his dedication and distinguished service as our Police Chief over the last thirteen years. His leadership in the department has not only created an excellent force, it has put us in a wonderful position of having a highly qualified candidate in Casey Kilgore to lead our department.”
