"After more than 35 years of a life in public service, I have made the personal decision to embark on the next chapter of my life and career," Carmichael wrote in a Facebook post on Friday afternoon. Carmichael said he decided to step down to focus on health, family, and other opportunities.
"It has been an incredible honor and privilege to be part of what I consider the noblest profession. Throughout my career, I've led hundreds of officers and ascended the ranks of the profession by embracing the philosophy of 21st Century Policing. From my early days on patrol to becoming a Police Chief, I've solved crimes, dismantled drug organizations, created innovative community engagement programs, managed critical incidents, and worked hard to build trust in the communities I've served," Carmichael wrote.
In a public statement, Mayor Fuller expressed her respect and gratitude for Carmichael and noted that he had a positive impact on the police department. "Chief Carmichael paid close attention to the recommendations of the Newton Police Reform Task Force and looked across Massachusetts and the country to prioritize 21st Century Policing that would be effective here in Newton," she said.
