ROBERTSDALE, Ala. Captain Daniel Steelman, who has worked in law enforcement for twenty-three years and is currently employed with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, will have a new position starting next week.
Captain Steelman will become the Chief of Police in Robertsdale after being appointed during Monday’s city council meeting.
Mayor Ruthie Campbell said that Steelman will assume his new position on December 22.
“We are very excited to have Daniel Steelman as our incoming chief,” Campbell said.
Retired police chief Bradley Kenrick left the department after 36 years, 23 of those years as chief. Campbell said Kendrick had become a staple in the community and will be missed.
“He has lived here virtually all his life,” said Campbell. “He went to Robertsdale, graduated from Robertsdale High School and has been an officer for nearly 37 years. He was a wonderful chief.”
Robertsdale is a growing community and Steelman’s experience and connection to the community will certainly be key to our growth as an agency.
Campbell said she hopes to see public safety in Robertsdale continue to foster a relationship with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. She said that Chief Steelman will restructure the department to increase visible patrols.
“The new shine that’s going to come into the police department will spread patrols out more evenly and continue to make it more of a public safety area than we ever could have thought of,” Campbell added.
