The Chief of the Ashville Police Department is in charge of Law Enforcement services for the village. The Chief of Police serves as a liaison to other law enforcement agencies.  

The Chief and Police Department report directly to the Mayor.

Jeff George was sworn in as the Village of Ashville's Police Chief, Monday, January 29th, 2018. George, a 16-year veteran of the Ashville Police Department, was hired with a unanimous vote by the Village Council and was sworn in immediately after by Mayor Charles Wise.

Officer George will have some pretty big shoes to fill, replacing the beloved former Police Chief Doug Clark. Mayor Wise said during the meeting: “Jeff’s been doing the job since we lost Mr. Clark, which was a pretty big hit on all of us personally and professionally. It’s been hard for me to move forward but Jeff’s been doing a good job and I look forward to working with him for years to come.”

George said he’s looking to also continue to partner with other area agencies. “As a detective, I worked with the Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force and worked hand-in-hand with the detectives on things like the murder case we had,” he said. “We’ve worked very closely with them for a number of years now. I think it will continue and be even closer now. ”
