The Saratoga Town Council officially named Tom Knickerbocker Acting Chief of Police of the Saratoga Police Department in it’s regular meeting Sept. 3.
“Really the only business that we are going to address tonight is naming Thomas Knickerbocker acting Chief of Police,” said Mayor Pro Tem Judy Welton.
Saratoga Town Council named Knickerbocker acting chief after former Chief of Police Grayling Wachsmuth took the police chief position in Encampment.
“I think most of you have seen that Chief Grayling Wachsmuth is resigning here and he is taking the position in Encampment,” Welton told audience members Sept. 3.
Welton said she did not see a letter of resignation, but Knickerbocker told her he had seen it.
Councilman Mike McWain made the motion to appoint Knickerbocker as Acting Chief of Police with Councilman Steve Wilcoxson seconding. The council voted unanimously to approve the motion, with Mayor John Zeiger absent.
“We expect great things,” Welton said.
