There’s a new police chief in Georgetown.

He’s Randall Hughes whose appointment by Mayor Bill West was approved unanimously by the town council.

Hughes has been with the Delaware State Police for nearly a quarter of a century as well as working for the Department of Homeland Security for five years.

Hughes said he was looking forward to continuing his law enforcement experience.

He will lead a 15 member department.

He replaces interim police chief Captain Ralph "Rusty" Holm who was praised by the mayor.
