Working with leadership consulting firm Developmental Associates LLC, city of Statesboro staff members received 45 applicants for police chief this time around and have pared the list to about a third of that number. Two consultants from Developmental Associates met with City Manager Randy Wetmore and other staff members in Statesboro Jan. 3. “They did, and we’re down to somewhere around 15 to 17 applicants who made the list that we’ll be looking at more closely,” Wetmore said later last week.
