Marble Hill's Police Chief Kristin Nenninger made a social media post explaining the department's decision. 

Dear Citizens of Marble Hill:

I have tendered my resignation as Chief of Police. Effective August 23, 2024. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve you all.

This decision did not come easy as I take my service as Police Officer and First Responder very seriously. I cannot faithfully support my Officers and provide you, the citizens of Marble Hill, with law enforcement services you all deserve due to the city putting constraints on the budget and cutting into the Police budget.

For the same as I have already mentioned, Captain Gilliam has also tendered his resignation.

The other officers have also resigned on their own accord.

God Bless"

Graham says sheriff's office is focused on maintaining public safety and ensuring that the community continues to receive the necessary law enforcement coverage during this transition period.
