New Cumberland Police Chief Jim Pyles began his first day on the job before 7am Thursday morning as he attended his first rollcall with night and day shift police officers at the downtown headquarters. Pyles spoke with the Dave Norman Show in the WCBC studios shortly after that meeting and shared with listeners what he spoke about to the officers now under his purview…

   

“I laid out my career with them and I said after that, after today, it’s about you – the officers, it’s about your family, and it’s about the City of Cumberland. I said one life – one day – we’re going to change the City of Cumberland.”
