Murray's Crime Prevention Sergeant Details Big Changes at Department

There is a lot going on at the Murray Police Department. It is welcoming 10 new officers, a new vehicle fleet, and a new revenue source from the taxes placed on package alcohol sales. The department's new Crime Prevention Sergeant, Dave Howe speaks with Chad Lampe about a 70% change in leadership, two new school resource officers and a new  Alcohol Beverage Control officer.

Chad Lampe, a Poplar Bluff, Missouri native, was raised on radio. He credits his father, a broadcast engineer, for his technical knowledge, and his mother for the gift of gab. At ten years old he broke all bonds of the FCC and built his own one watt pirate radio station. His childhood afternoons were spent playing music and interviewing classmates for all his friends to hear. At fourteen he began working for the local radio stations, until he graduated high school. He earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Murray State, and a Masters Degree in Mass Communication. In November, 2011, Chad was named Station Manager in 2016.
