The city of Statesboro’s search for a police chief, who will probably be hired by a new city manager, has drawn 21 applicants. Nine of the candidates are from Georgia, but the other 12 hail from nine different states, reports city Human Resources Director Jeff Grant. “We have a good pool of candidates, with several who appear to meet the criteria and characteristics we are looking for in the chief of police,” said interim City Manager Robert Cheshire.
