A Lansing-area native who joined the Centreville Police Department in April was named its acting chief Monday.
Sgt. David Richmond, 30, replaces Luke Delcourt, who resigned Thursday before he was to meet with the village council’s three-person police committee. Delcourt on Sept. 29 was suspended with pay pending the police committee’s investigation of matters that have not been made public.
Richmond, who grew up and went to school in the Clinton County community of DeWitt, said he appreciates the council’s confidence in him.
Richmond earns $13 an hour but village president Jeff Johnson said Richmond’s pay rate will likely be adjusted as acknowledgment of his additional duties.
Delcourt, a 41-year-old St. Clair County native was being paid $40,000 as chief of the department that was re-created earlier this year after its duties were contracted to the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department since the 1990s.
