Tabor out as Fayetteville's police chief
Northwest Arkansas Times
Posted on Wednesday, December 31, 2008
Fayetteville Police Chief Greg Tabor resigned abruptly Wednesday as part of an apparently long-standing agreement with departing Mayor Dan Coody.
The Fayetteville City Clerk sent out the following announcement shortly after 1 p.m.
"Mayor Dan Coody announced today the resignation of Greg Tabor as Chief of Police. Tabor will assume his previous duties as Deputy Chief of Police effective 1-1-09.
"When Chief Tabor accepted the position as Chief of Police he and Mayor Coody entered into an agreement allowing this move since Tabor did not have the necessary years of service for retirement. Since the mayor cannot bind future administrations this agreement was only valid while Mayor Coody is Mayor. Chief Tabor decided it was in his best interest to exercise his right to make this change since there is going to be a change in the mayor’s position."
Alderman Lioneld Jordan defeated Coody for the mayor's post in a runoff on Nov. 25. He assumes office officially on Friday.
