Dayton's top cop retires suddenly
The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — Police Chief Ronald Lowe retired Tuesday, less than a week after the police department was reorganized and a new supervisory position over Chief Lowe created.
Chief Lowe gave no reason for his sudden retirement. He called the decision difficult, but said his family supports it. A 25-year veteran in law enforcement, he was hired as chief in 1995.
Last week, the City Commission gave the city manager the authority to appoint a public safety director to oversee operations at the police and fire departments.
The appointee, retired Dayton police Maj. John Thomas, will serve as acting police chief while a national search is conducted.
