Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo was named president of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police August 27 in Williamsburg. The Hook caught up with him August 29 on the Downtown Mall, and he assured us the position isn't just a figurehead job, and that there are lots of serious police chief issues about which he'll be lobbying Richmond.
Charlottesville had another chief of chiefs not too long ago. Fire Chief Charles Werner served as president of the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association in 2010.
