#30 - Liberty, Texas Assistant Police Chief

The Clear Voice sits down with Liberty Police Chief Rick Ashe for a detailed look at one of the most meaningful leadership opportunities currently open in Texas, the Assistant Chief of Police for the City of Liberty.

Chief Ashe shares his decades long journey in law enforcement, including his tenure in Temple, his time as an assessor for TPCA accreditation, and the path that ultimately brought him to Liberty. He provides a clear and candid overview of the department’s structure, culture, technology modernization, and the transformative work underway to elevate service delivery, community visibility, and supervisory accountability.

This episode explores the vision behind the newly created Assistant Chief role, which will oversee investigations, dispatch, records, evidence, internal affairs, accreditation, and training. Chief Ashe details the qualities he is seeking in a second-in-command, why the position is ideal for lieutenants or senior sergeants ready for their next professional step, and how the selected candidate will be mentored to eventually assume command of the organization.

Listeners will also learn about Liberty’s low crime rate, community support, operational improvements, upcoming TPCA reaccreditation cycle, investment in technology including MDTs and Flock ALPR, and the city’s future economic growth tied to new subdivisions and the developing shallow-water port.

Whether you are a seasoned law enforcement leader looking for upward mobility or simply want to understand how a department modernizes while strengthening culture, this episode provides an in-depth look at a compelling opportunity in a growing Texas community.
