Changing of the guard

Paul Lemoine as a rookie

After more than 30 years of service to the citizens of Southeast Texas, Port Neches Police Chief Paul Lemoine has effectively entered retirement, wishing good luck to his successor, Chief Cheri’ Griffith.

Friday, Oct. 21, served as Lemoine’s last official day at Port Neches Police Department.

“It’s been a great career and I am blessed to have worked with such a good group of supportive citizens, administrators, media partners and employees,” Lemoine said. “This is a tough profession to be in but I wouldn’t change a thing.”
