Boone Names Interim Daniel Duckworth Police Chief
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. He played a significant role in expanding Boone's Community Care Program, which integrates a social worker into the police department to support community policing efforts, and has contributed to recruiting new officers and enhancing professional development. Recognized for his service with the department's Medal of Honor and leadership roles such as president of the North Carolina Narcotics Enforcement Officers' Association, Duckworth is praised by town officials for his qualifications and vision for the department's future. 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.
