Governor Rick Scott Appoints Colonel Chad Chronister as Hillsborough County Sheriff

Posted on September 1, 2017

Governor Rick Scott today announced the appointment of Colonel Chad Chronister as Hillsborough County Sheriff upon the retirement of Sheriff David Gee for a term beginning September 30, 2017, and ending November 13, 2018.
Governor Rick Scott said, “Sheriff Gee has devoted his life to protecting Florida families, including the last 13 years as Hillsborough County Sheriff, and I’m incredibly grateful for his service. I’m honored to announce that following Sheriff Gee’s retirement, I am appointing Colonel Chad Chronister as Hillsborough County Sheriff. Colonel Chronister has spent 25 years in the Sheriff’s Office, rising through the ranks and proving himself to be a strong leader who exemplifies the office’s mission to serve, protect, and defend Florida families. I’m confident that he will continue Sheriff Gee’s great work in Hillsborough County.”
Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said, “Colonel Chad Chronister’s decades of public service are a demonstration of remarkable law enforcement experience, leadership, community involvement, proven character and outstanding integrity. I have worked with Colonel Chronister throughout his 25 years in the Sheriff’s Office and he is undoubtedly qualified and capable of serving the citizens of Hillsborough County as Sheriff. I’d like to thank Governor Scott for his commitment to public safety and support of our state’s law enforcement as we serve and protect our communities. I have been truly honored to serve the citizens of Florida and Hillsborough County.”
Colonel Chad Chronister, 49, of Tampa, is a veteran law enforcement officer with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Chronister joined the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in 1992 as a patrol deputy and has served in specialty units and leadership roles, including his current position as Commander of the Department of Operational Support. He also serves his community as a board member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay, Friends of Hillsborough County Animal Services, Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, the Jason Ackerman Foundation, More Health, Inc. and the Tampa Bay Sports Commission. Chronister received his Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Criminology from St. Leo University and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 260th session.
