Capt. Hull would be best choice for Jackson chief

To the editor:

My hat is off to T. Michael Murray of St. Louis for his letter to the editor. I and others resent the hiring of an out-of-state person for Jackson's police chief.

Capt. Robert Hull Jr. is a dedicated law officer with many years of experience and is devoted to his job. His reputation is above reproach. He is dependable, reliable and a respected citizen whom I have know for many years.

I lived in Jackson for many years before moving to Oak Ridge. I am in constant contact with many citizens and businesses in Jackson.

I hope the mayor and the selection committee will reconsider and do the right thing by appointing Hull as permanent police chief.
