LONGTIME POLICE CHIEF GREG FUGITT ISSUES RETIREMENT LETTER TO COMMUNITY
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Community,
As I am preparing to retire after more than twenty-nine years of law enforcement, and as your police chief for the past fourteen, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey that has brought me to this moment. It is with a heart full of gratitude that I submit this letter of notice of retirement, effective April 1, 2025.
I would like to thank my family; I cannot express how much your support and patience have meant to me. You have been my rock through long hours, sleepless nights, and countless sacrifices. Thank you for understanding the demands of my call and the sacrifices that came with it. You’ve endured missed holidays, late-night calls, and the worry that comes with having a spouse/dad in law enforcement, yet you’ve always been my biggest supporters.
I owe a debt of gratitude to every individual I’ve served over the years. To my fellow first responders, officers, dispatchers, and EMTs, thank you for your dedication, camaraderie, and shared commitment to serving others. A special thank you to the late Chief of Police Garrett Roberts, as well as former Chiefs, Tim Ellis, Phil Claxon, Bill Roberts and Sheriff Bobby Workman. Each of you has been a mentor and role model to me. The wealth of knowledge and experience you shared, along with the integrity you exemplified, shaped me into the leader I strived to be. Your legacies have left a permanent imprint on this department and my life.
Serving as Chief of Police for the City of Louisa has been the greatest honor of my life. We faced challenges, celebrated victories, and worked to make our community safer and stronger. I am proud of what we have accomplished, and I leave this role knowing the department is in capable hands.
As I close this chapter, I do so with full gratitude. Thank you to the citizens of Louisa for trusting me to serve and protect you.
Sincerely,
Greg A. Fugitt
Chief of Police (2011–2025)
