Oak Hill promotes 'interim' Diane Young to top cop post

NSBNEWS.net photo by Henry Frederick. Diane Young was promoted Monday from interim to perrmanent police chief of the Oak Hill Police Department.

OAK HILL -- Diane Young can proudly call herself chief of police of the Oak Hill police force.

That's because the Oak Hill City Commission voted 3-2 Monday to remove the "interim" from her title and name her perrmanent police chief, replacing Guy Grasso, who has a long-term disability injury from an auto accident on duty.

In a prepared media statement, Yong, 56, said of her promotion:

"I appreciate the Oak Hill citizens' and commissioners' support throughout this challenging and prolonged transition.

Young added in her statement that she and  "the officers are looking forward to putting previous administration problems behind us and moving ahead with our primary function which is to serve and protect the citizens of Oak Hill."
