Months ago, we posted that Pensacola Police Chief David Alexander wanted to keep his job after his DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Program) date as CFO Dick Barker, Assistant to the City Council Elaine Mager and others in City Hall have done.
Mayor Ashton Hayward told WEAR TV 3’s Jackalyn Kovac that he will not detour from his original succession plan that has Assistant Police Chief Tommi Lyter being submitted to the City Council as the new Police Chief this May.
“David chose to retire in 2012, and his contract specifically states that he is gonna leave in May. He’s been terrific for our team, but we have a succession plan and we’re gonna move forward,” Hayward told WEAR TV 3.
