Daniel Duckworth has been officially named the new permanent police chief of Boone, North Carolina, following his interim tenure since January after former Chief Andy LeBeau retired. Duckworth has a 16-year career with the Boone Police Department, advancing from patrol officer to leadership roles, and holds degrees in psychology and physical education from Appalachian State University and East Tennessee State University.

Boone's police department, under his leadership, operates with 43 sworn officers and a $6 million annual budget. Mayor Tim Futrelle and Town Manager Amy Davis expressed strong support and optimism for Duckworth's leadership moving forward.
