Groveland has promoted Lt. Sammy Anderson to police chief. Anderson brings 23 years of law enforcement experience, including 15 years with the Groveland Police Department. He most recently served as the special operations lieutenant.
City employees expressed a strong preference for an internal promotion. Fire Chief Kevin Carroll, formerly interim public safety director, interviewed department employees and completed an agency analysis before selecting Anderson. Carroll now permanently holds the public safety director position while continuing as fire chief.
City officials highlighted Anderson's career as an example of public service career growth. He succeeds former Police Chief Shawn Ramsey, who was no longer employed by the city as of August 25. Deputy Chief Armando Loney served as acting police chief following Ramsey's departure.
