CARLISLE — A veteran Fairfield police officer and the director of security of a prominent Cincinnati law firm are among six finalists to head this tiny Warren County village's embattled police department.
“We're looking for someone who will be a professional, community-oriented leader,” Village Manager Brad Townsend said. “In narrowing the (applicants), we looked at their background and what they accomplished in the field. I'm very pleased with our six finalists.”
They are:
• Richard J. St. John, a 25-year veteran of the Fairfield Police Department and acting police chief in that city. He holds a bachelor's in criminal justice from the University of Cincinnati.
• Gregory C. Homer, a Sharonville officer from 1973 to 1999. He has served as patrol officer, detective, community service officer and in several supervisory posts in Sharonville. He was in the Navy from 1970 to 1972.
• E. Carl Bush, a detective-sergeant with the Trotwood (Ohio) Police Department. He joined that force in 1981.
• Michael D. Wylie, director of security for Waite, Schneider, Bayless & Chesley Co. law firm since 1998. He was public safety personnel coordinator at Wright State University from 1996 to 1997. He was with the Amberley Village Police Department from 1979 to 1995, reaching the rank of lieutenant. He was a deputy sheriff/detective with the Clermont County Sheriff's office from 1976 to 1979. He has a bachelor's in criminal justice administration from the Union Institute.
• William J. Miller, academy director of the Bosnia Training Administration from 1997 to 1998. He was director of public safety in Norwood from 1996 to 1997 and worked for the Evendale Police Department from 1992 to 1997. He was a Cincinnati police officer from 1974 to 1976 and is a former police chief of Union Township, Clermont County.
• Beryl C. McCloud has been chief of the South Charleston (Ohio) Police Department since 1991. He also worked at the Fairborn Police Department from 1964 to 1991.
The village received 44 applications. Mr. Townsend hopes to have a new police chief within two weeks.
The department was rocked by a string of problems in March that led to the resignations of former Chief Gary Long and Sgt. Brad Fogle. They were accused of vandalizing the home of former Village Manager Eric Levitt in 1995.
Daniel Chilton has been interim chief of the Carlisle department since March 29.
