2026 SWAT Board of Directors Sworn In
On January 15, 2026, the Northern Kentucky SWAT Board of Directors was officially sworn into office and convened for its first meeting of the year. I am honored and extremely proud to serve as the new Chief Executive Officer.
Northern Kentucky SWAT is a multi-agency team of highly trained tactical operators from the Kenton and Campbell County Sheriff’s Offices and participating police departments throughout both counties. The team provides a coordinated, 24-hour response capability to critical incidents and emergencies across the region.
I look forward to serving alongside this outstanding leadership team and continuing to support the safety of our communities.
