Kyle's New Police Chief Takes the Reigns
Chief Jeff Barnett's First Day
|  Monday, May 16th marked the beginning of the Chief Jeff Barnett era at the Kyle Police Department, and the new chief's first day in Kyle started early, meeting with the officers and then on to his first City of Kyle department head meeting. But meetings aren't what brought Chief Barnett to Kyle. Being part of a close knit, fast growing community was the draw for him and that's what he wants to get down to doing.
If first impressions are important, the Kyle police force made a good one on the new chief.
Chief Barnett also noted some needs at the department, some minor, some more glaring. The short-term goal for the police department's headquarters is to move them into the current Hays County Precinct Two offices adjacent to the Kyle City Hall. The building is currently being leased from the city by the county while new county offices are being built. The long-term goal is to construct a new police headquarters, but that process has not really formally begun.
Prior to coming to Kyle, Chief Barnett has served as Chief of Police for the City of Princeton, Texas, since 2005. His total of 19 years of law enforcement experience also includes 9 years with Mount Pleasant, Texas, police department where he served in various capacities including Interim Police Chief. Other experience includes working as a special agent for the FBI and teaching law enforcement classes and local junior college. |
