Scott Wheatley was named the Grovetown Department of Public Safety chief Thursday. Wheatley had served as the interim director of the department since April 28 after former Chief Gary Jones was terminated. “It’s exciting,” Wheatley said. Mayor George James said that the interviewing panel chose Wheatley from other applicants and city council members agreed. “Scott has been with the city quite a while, held about every position in that department,” Jones said.
