GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. – Jacques Battiste, the police chief in Glynn County, is stepping down from his position, according to a report Monday by The Brunswick News, which cited a news release.

Battiste was approved to take over the job in June 2021. He was the Board of Commissioners’ top choice after an extensive search.
Battiste is a veteran of more than 20 years with the FBI. After, he spent a year as campus police chief at Xavier University of Louisiana — his alma mater. Before taking the job at the Police Department, he had been working as a tactical and training coordinator with Orleans Parish Constable’s Office in New Orleans.
