🎉 PROMOTIONS | LEADERSHIP THROUGH SERVICE
Today, the McKinney Police Department proudly recognized the promotions of three members of our team:
👮 Sergeant Joseph Armijo
👮 Sergeant Darryl Saffold
🎧 Communications Supervisor Ashley Beckle
Each brings a different background and experience to their new role, but they share a commitment to serving others and making the people around them better.
Sgt. Armijo brings more than 13 years of law enforcement experience, with a background in patrol, training, SWAT and specialized assignments.
Sgt. Saffold brings more than 13 years of law enforcement experience, with a background in patrol and public information.
Communications Supervisor Beckle has served MPD since 2019, with experience in communications, training and team leadership.
At MPD, leadership is not simply about rank or title. It is a responsibility to the people you serve and the people you lead. It means setting the example, holding yourself accountable, making difficult decisions when necessary and investing in the success of those around you.
A promotion recognizes what someone has accomplished, but more importantly, it reflects the trust placed in them to lead what comes next.
Please join us in congratulating Sgt. Armijo, Sgt. Saffold and Communications Supervisor Beckle on their promotions and this next chapter of service and leadership.
Congratulations! 👏
