Roswell Police Chief Dwayne Orrick was unexpectedly put on administrative leave last week, Wednesday, Oct. 31 and turned in his resignation the following day.
Orrick, who came from heading the Cordele Police Department in south Georgia, lead RPD for just under two years. He took over when former Chief Ed Williams resigned during the first quarter of 2011.
