Albemarle Police Chief Retires After 30 Years | Charlottesville News

After 30 years of dedicated service, Albemarle County’s Chief of Police, Colonel Sean Reeves, is retiring October 1st — leaving behind a legacy of transformative leadership. He helped build the Cybercrimes Unit, launched the mental health crisis response coalition, and expanded body-worn cameras. His most impactful innovation? The Human Services Alternative Response Team (HART), which pairs officers with paramedics and social workers — plus Narcan training and officer wellness programs. Supervisors praised his transparency and vision, even emotional during tribute moments. Now, the county begins searching for his successor, with Major Randy Jamerson as acting chief and Major Camille Stewart among internal candidates. The County Executive will choose the next leader, subject to Board approval — and while no timeline exists, they’re committed to a rigorous, thoughtful process to find the right person for this vital role.
