Flomaton Police Chief Resigning For Another Law Enforcement Job

September 8, 2022

Flomaton Police Chief Charles “Chance” Thompson has submitted his resignation to accept a new position.

His resignation is effective September 27.

Thompson was promoted from FPD captain to chief in October 2019, following the resignation of then-chief Bryan Davis who also accepted another position after six years on the job.

In his resignation letter, Thompson said he was not being pressured to resign and it was not a disciplinary action of any kind. He said he has accepted another law enforcement position in Alabama.

“I would like to thank every citizen of this town for the ultimate opportunity to serve you. I grew up in this  town and being able to serve close friends and elders that I grew up with was truly amazing. I am blessed for the amazing law enforcement experience that I gained through this journey as your chief of police,” Thompson said. “I am incredibly thankful to the good Lord for his guidance throughout my career, and what he holds for me in my future endeavors.”

    Chief Thompson is one of the good ones. His appointment to the job was a breath of fresh air for the town of Flomaton. It felt like things were finally getting on the right track and I even wished he would have run for mayor because he definitely would have won. It will certainly be different and he will be missed. I just pray that the next person appointed will have the same level of integrity as he did. We wish you well Sir!

    $40K a year is just not enough to put your life on the line every day. Be safe in your new job.
