Golden Police Chief Bill Kilpatrick is retiring from the department after 32 years of service, including 20 as chief.
“To the members of the Golden Police Department: there is no finer police department anywhere in this country. The dedication, commitment, compassion, passion, professionalism, and resiliency that you demonstrate daily is awe-inspiring. Any accomplishments this organization has achieved is a direct result of your ceaseless efforts. You have my eternal admiration and respect,” Kilpatrick said in the news release.
Deputy Police Chief Joe Harvey, who has 34 years of law enforcement experience, will serve as the next chief of the department, which has more than 60 employees, including more than 40 officers. Volunteers and reserves also serve the department. Harvey joined the Golden PD in 2015 and has been deputy chief since 2018.
“Chief Kilpatrick, through dedication to this community, has built a police department in Golden that is committed to professionalism and service,” said City Manager Jason T. Slowinski. “Deputy Chief Joe Harvey’s experience and leadership will continue that tradition as he steps into his new role as Golden’s Chief of Police.”
