Chief James Hambrick came out of the US Navy in 1984 and began a janitorial service. Soon he was ordained to the Gospel ministry, but also worked in a local convenience store. A few members of the local police force encouraged him to apply for a job, so in 1995 he became a dispatcher for the Mt. Juliet Police Department, and in 1996 he became a patrolman. After running a private counseling service and serving as police chaplain, Chief Hambrick completed a PhD in pyschology in 2005 and became the assistant police chief. In 2009, he graduated from Northwestern University's Police Staff and Command. And then in 2012, he was named Chief of Police for the City of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. He has served as adjunct professor of Union University and authored 2 books. He is married to Denise, and they have 5 children and 14 grandchildren. In Episode 004, we discuss how the people of God can serve the city well in light of current racial tensions, political divisions, and outbursts of violence impacting cities across the nation.
