GREENSBORO, N.C. — Teresa "Tess" Biffle is a 27-year-veteran with the Greensboro Police Department.
Now, she will serve as the interim police chief as the city searches for a new police chief.
Mayor Nancy Vaugh weighs in on Biffle as she takes on the role of the temporary police chief.
"Think she will do a wonderful job," Mayor Vaugh said. "I know that she’s worked with chief James. I really like the management staff that he has in place. I think she’s going to be able to hit the ground running. She was always out at community events. She has a good relationship with GPD officers so I think she will make a tremendous impact."
Biffle joined the Greensboro Police Department in April 1995 as a member of the 71st Police Basic Introductory Course, according to the Greensboro Police Department.
She served as an executive officer in the Criminal Investigations Division before being awarded a Departmental Commendation bar in 2007, graduated with honors from the Administrative Officers Course in 2008, and a Lifesaving award in 2009.
