SHEILA A. MATHEWS :::
The Grip has learned that Griffin Police Department Chief Steve Heaton has submitted to City Manager Kenny Smith his letter of resignation.
Heaton took over the chief of police position April 14, 2014, following the December 2013 restructuring of the GPD that resulted in former chief Frank Strickland’s designation as the city’s public safety director.
Strickland resigned from the city of Griffin July 31, 2015.
The Grip will continue to follow this developing story and report additional information as it becomes available.
