The former chief said he will miss everyone he worked with, but looks forward to what the future holds. “I am going to miss dealing with the employees of course. It’s a great group here, working with them day in and day out. The problems that we deal with out here in the public i am going to miss them tremendously, said former Police Chief Donald Derr of the Savannah Police Department. Although he is retiring as chief he will take a job as a court security officer at the Federal Courthouse in Jackson starting Monday.
