Forest Police Chief Clarifies His Temporary Position at Carey Police Department

The Chief of Police in Forest clarified his temporary position with the Carey Police Department.

In a Facebook posting Monday evening, Chief Donald Southward explained that he was recently sworn in as the Interim Chief for the Village of Carey.

The Chief explained that he agreed to assist Carey on a part time basis due to the resignation of that village’s former chief.

He said his role in Carey is to keep operations moving until the process is complete in selecting a new full time police chief.

Chief Southward went on to say that his position with the Forest Police Department has not changed, and he is still working full time for the Village of Forest.
