The Eagle Pass Police Department has a new Interim Police Chief who hails from Corpus Christi. Sam Granato, and has worked with the Kingsville Police Department and in Yakima, Washington and possesses a Master's of Science in Strategic Leadership. Chief Bruce Mills will still be coming every week and will continue to serve in the role of consultant as he has many initiatives he wishes to see through to fruition as the transition is made to permanently fill the position. Granato will be here to fulfill the day-to-day operations which go hand-in-hand with the position of police chief. The Eagle Pass News Gram thanks Chief Mills for all his work and welcomes Chief Granato to our community as he arrives at a highly pivotal moment in our history as we work to bounce back from the recent emergency rescue operations over the past weekend and the EPPD will continue to work in coordination with other agencies to see that life returns to normalcy following the tragedy.
