Herndon’s police chief will be stepping down this fall.
Toussaint Summers Jr. will leave the Virginia town to take a job as the top law enforcement officer in New Bern, N.C. He has been Herndon’s chief since 1999.
“It is with mixed emotions that I leave Herndon and prepare for my new responsibilities as New Bern’s chief of police,” Summers said in a statement. He said it was a “privilege and honor” to lead Herndon’s force.
In Herndon, Summers led the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force and helped the department win community policing awards and traffic safety honors, town officials said in the statement.
