Friday, May 22nd, 2015
Michael Persley, an Albany native and, at age 43, among the youngest officers heading the police force of a metropolitan area in Georgia, meet with the media Thursday morning to discuss his new position and his plans for the future.
As the reins of leadership are transferred from the current chief, John Proctor, who retires May 29, Persley said he’s conferring with his command staff on ways to improve what he calls “one of the finest police agencies in the state.”
