FOX CROSSING, WI (WTAQ) – One major change was just made to the Village of Fox Crossing’s Police Department and more could be on the way.
Tim Seaver was sworn in Friday as the new police chief, succeeding the recently-retired Rod McCants.
Seaver has spent 29 years in law enforcement, the last 12 as Fox Crossing PD’s Administrative Lieutenant.
The new chief says that he has always dreamed of leading a police department to ensure he can have a large impact on the agency.
In recent years, Seaver notes he has handled many of the department’s management duties when Chief McCants was out of the office. He believes that has helped prepare him for his new role.
Since Seaver views the Fox Crossing area as one that is growing, his top goal is to add more high-ranking officers and sergeants, if the village budget allows.
Seaver also wants to look into either remodeling or expanding the current police station and ensure that the department’s policy manual is brought up to date.
During his years in Fox Crossing, Seaver says the department has always had a positive relationship with village residents.
He says his officers will find multiple ways to be visible in the community and will interact with residents in an effort to keep that bond strong.
