I would like to announce to the Gallatin Community that at the last City Council meeting I gave the board a letter informing them of my intent to retire my position as Police Chief for the City of Gallatin on January 2nd of 2023. My 23 years with the Gallatin Police Department have been rewarding, and I value the opportunities I have had to assist the citizens of Gallatin.
I want to thank the citizens of Gallatin for providing me with the opportunity to learn and grow with them during my career.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish the citizens of Gallatin a safe and happy fourth of July and to point out the ordinances for shooting fireworks within the city. Gallatin City Code prohibits fireworks to be fired within the city except between the hours of 8:00 am and 12:00 midnight July 4th. It also states that no fireworks shall be fired within 200 feet of any church, school, nursing home or gas station or fired from or at a vehicle or at any person.
Here are some safety tips to keep you’re holiday safe.
· Always read and FOLLOW directions on the label.
· Always have an adult present to supervise your fireworks fun.
· Always buy from a reliable fireworks dealer.
· Alcohol and fireworks do not mix.
· Always use fireworks outdoors, away from homes, dry grass and trees.
· Always have water handy. A water hose close by is excellent.
· Always store your fireworks safely, preferably in a closed box, away from any source of accidental ignition.
· Always store your fireworks in a cool, dry place.
· Always only light one item at a time.
· Never try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks.
· Never give ANY firework item to small children.
· Never throw or point fireworks at another person.
· Never carry fireworks in your pocket.
· Never shoot (fire) fireworks from metal or glass containers.
· Never experiment with, modify or attempt to make your own fireworks.
· PETS can be frightened by loud noises and bright flashes. Keep your pets indoors while enjoying your fireworks.
Officers will be patrolling and enforcing the firework laws in Gallatin. Violations could result in fireworks being confiscated.
Please have a fun and safe holiday. If you have any questions regarding fireworks or any other ordinances you can contact the Gallatin Police Department at 660-663-3580.
