Change Made At CPD

The Paper of Montgomery County has learned that Crawfordsville Police veteran Bob Rivers has been removed as assistant chief of the department.

CPD Chief Aaron Mattingly told The Paper that the assistant chief is an appointed position and that he did inform Rivers recently that a change in that position was being made.

“Bob Rivers is a long standing officer with the Crawfordsville Police Department,” the chief said. “He is and will continue to be employed with us. He will just be in a different role. Rivers has always worn many hats with our department. I have no doubt that he will continue to be a very resourceful and productive member of this department.”

Rivers has served as an officer for CPD since 1997.

Mattingly said that a new assistant chief has not been selected yet.

The Paper was unsuccessful in attempts to contact Rivers.
