Following a nationwide recruitment search, Georgetown City Manager David Morgan has appointed Interim Police Chief Cory Tchida as the new chief of police for the City of Georgetown. Tchida’s appointment will be presented to the Georgetown City Council for confirmation at a special meeting at 6 p.m. June 6.
Tchida was one of three finalists from the more than 50 applicants who vying for the position from across the country.
“Cory Tchida has been a key leader within the police department and has provided exceptional leadership and value throughout his service as interim chief since June 2021,” Morgan said. “He is passionate about our community and deeply values relationships. I’m excited about his service in this new role.”
Tchida has served as interim police chief since June 14, 2021, but he has served with Georgetown PD for 25 years.
“I have been blessed to serve this community for over 25 years, and I have loved this community from the start,” Tchida said. “It is the single greatest honor of my professional life to be selected as your police chief and continue to serve this community in that new role alongside the women and men of this department who strive to be the standard every day.”
