@cooktx @PlanoPoliceDept @NorthTXPIO @zhicook @Amanda4Blue @ChelseaKretz13 @TimCiesco @JeremySilbert @CarissaPIO So sad…. Prayers for family.

Sad news tonight…. A great friend, mentor, and PIO for the @PlanoPoliceDept for many years passed away. Many in the news media and North Texas will recognize David Tilley. We spent a lot of time together at conferences and with the @NorthTXPIO Group over the many years while I worked at @ArlingtonPD. We all learned a lot from David. May you rest in peace. Prayers for his wife Whitney and kids.

Help us welcome your new NIOA Executive Board! Don Aaron - Past President’s Liaison Jason Elmore - Immediate Past President Anna Huffman - Secretary Chelsea Kretz - Vice President Stewart Smith - President along with Lisa McNeal, Executive Director
