Retiring Allegan County Sheriff’s Dept. Captain Scott Mattice has been selected as the City of Wayland’s new police chief.
Mattice, who served on the Allegan. County department for 28 years, most recently was in charge of patrol operations and investigative services. The City Council Monday night approved a contract agreement and he is scheduled to begin duties Monday, Jan. 2.
A resident of Wayland, Mattice served on two-year term on the City Council and got his start in the public safety sector as a patrolman fore the City of Wayland.
He succeeds Mark Garnsey, who retired from police work last September.
I hope this works out. Wayland has not had a lot of luck hiring retired people. He has an Allegan county pension and on the Wayland payroll now. Wow big money??
I give him admiration as he is still working. Go to the grocery store and watch some of the best of our society with the bridge cards who do not work. Incidentally, many are living high on the hog. My opinion, my choice.
More of the illusionary truth effect from CINO, and this letter from a young woman is absolutely all about you. Next time you judge someone using food stamps, I do my nails myself, my phone has been my Christmas gift from my dad for the last three years, my bag is a knockoff, my car belongs to my mother, my son’s name brand clothes are from Goodwill, and I work two full time jobs. Forgive me for not looking “poor enough” for your stereotypical view of poverty. I forgot that I’m required to dress in rags in order to appease your prejudice.
I’m glad to see him come in. Our last chief was an absolute embarrassment. I think he will do great. I’ve met him a few times, and he is a stand up guy.
