Join the Cobb Chamber for the next Northwest Cobb Area Council on June 29 for a fireside chat between Chief Jesse Evans of the Acworth Police Department and Chief Bill Westenberger of the Kennesaw Police Department as they discuss their approach to department morale, workforce challenges in recruitment and retention, public safety updates, and how they work together and across departments to support major events in the county.

Every day, he works with his command staff and officers to uphold their values of respect, integrity, service, and excellence, all while partnering with citizens and business owners to keep Kennesaw a safe place for residents and visitors.
