BELLVILLE - Bellville Police Chief Jason Smalley tendered his resignation as police chief after serving 22 years with the City of Bellville.
Smalley’s resignation will take effect on Aug. 31. He will continue in law enforcement as he begins a new chapter in his career working with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
Smalley’s resignation letter to the mayor and council members reflects that his tenure has been an extraordinary ex- perience. He feels a sense of fulfillment after achieving his goals, such as a new police department building, expanded patrol positions, establishing a K-9 unit, increasing officer wages, and introduc ing new law enforcement technologies— all with the support of a dedicated mayor and council.
Smalley thanked the city, its officers and the community for the memories for his time with the city.
