Raleigh

I’m sorry to see Chief Putney leaving the position in which he has served with honor, integrity and a servant’s heart for the people of Charlotte. We’re very appreciative of his leadership, decorated service and distinguished career.

I personally met with Chief Putney over the past few weeks as he weighed his decision. I pledged the full cooperation of the subject matter experts in our Retirement Services Division to assist him during the separation process.

We are in the check delivery business for public employees who teach, protect and otherwise serve. It is our intention to ensure Chief Putney has a smooth transition to the retirement he has worked for, imagines, and deserves.
