Todd Crossett as been promoted to Assistant Police Chief with the City of Batavia Police Department as of this past Sunday.<\/p>\n
Crossett started going through the process of applying for the position when Assistant Chief Rob Yeager retired at the end of January 2017.<\/p>\n
Several others also applied for the position and Crossett was chosen.<\/p>\n
Crossett has been with the City of Batavia Police Department for almost 19 years.<\/p>\n
“I grew up in the City on Prospect avenue, I know Batavia pretty well and have good ties to the City,” says Crossett.<\/p>\n
When asked what he can offer to the position of Assistant Police Chief?<\/p>\n
“The knowledge I have for police work and the contacts I have within the community and the great group of people we have, the officers and sergeants are great and everyone is hardworking.”<\/p>\n
“It will be a fun challenge, it will be different than being in charge of the Detectives Unit. I will now be responsible for 20 people instead of 5.”<\/p>\n
As Assistant Chief, Crossett will now be in charge of road patrol.<\/p>\n
Kevin Czora will now take over the Detective Bureau as the Officer in Charge until interviews are completed to fill Crossett’s former position as Detective Sergeant.<\/p>\n
“It’s a big deal, I’m excited I was selected.\u00a0 I am going to enjoy the challenge and do the best I can.<\/p>\n
