“Police Chief Randy Pack officially retired on June 14, 2023 from the City of Greenbrier, said Stephanie Toland, CMFO City Recorder/Treasurer City of Greenbrier.

What year did you start with Greenbrier? …and what kind of changes have you seen the city go through in your tenure with the Greenbrier Police Department?
“I started in 2013. I served as deputy chief for four years prior to becoming chief. The city has grown dramatically during this period and with it so has the crime rate. We are fortunate to have a vast majority of good and decent people who outnumber those who victimize others by a huge majority.”
What achievement are you most proud of?
“My best achievement is putting together a team of officers that care about those they serve.”
How would you like to be remembered?
“You can never be a policeman and expect everyone to love you. I hope people will remember me as someone who cared about them and our community.”
What are your plans for the future?
“I hope to spend some time with my three beautiful grandchildren and maybe start training younger officers at some point.”
Toland told Smokey Barn News that the city of Greenbrier will begin the formal recruitment process to replace Pack soon.
