Jeff Scarbrough Terry Suit
Public safety
director,
fire marshal
moving on

Two of Sandy Springs’ top public safe
ty officials announced they are moving
on to new jobs in other cities.
Public Safety Director Terry Suit, who
was recently promoted to that job from
police chief, decided he wanted to be a
chief again. On Oct. 7 he will take over
as police chief of Hampton, Va. The city
also announced that Fire Marshal Jeff T.
Scarbrough is resigning to take a job as
fire chief with the Athens-Clarke Coun
ty department.
Both announcements came on Sept.
12. City spokeswoman Sharon Kraun-
said the timing is a coincidence.
“Both men are taking on positions
presenting greater personal growth in
larger agencies,” Kraun said. “It shows
the caliber of men and women we have
who work in our public safety depart
ments. Their expertise is respected and
sought out.”
The bosses of both men praised their
service to the city.
“I am proud of Jeff,” Fire Chief Jack
McElfish said in an email. “We strive in
the department to help our people grow.
Jeff is a tremendous asset. While I hate to
see him go, I am very excited for him to
take on this new opportunity. It is a tre
mendous accomplishment and testament
to his hard work and dedication.”
“Terry has done an outstanding job as
our former chief of police as well as serv
ing as our public safety director,” City
Manager John McDonough said.
Earlier this year, the city promoted
Suit to director of public safety and re
placed him as police chief with Kenneth
DeSimone.
Suit joined the city in 2008, leaving
his post as police chief in Gastonia, N.C.
He came to Sandy Springs during a tu
multuous time for the young police de
partment after the former chief resigned
amid an investigation into officers ac
cepting gifts from citizens. Suit institut
ed a staff overhaul, reorganizing the de
partment to make it more accessible and
community-focused.
He also took the lead in implementing
a new north Fulton police radio system.
Suit said he would assist with the transi
tion on that project.
