Cpl. Attrie Killian has 14 years of invaluable experience with the department.  Throughout her tenure, Cpl. Killian has made contributions to the department in the Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations Division, and most recently as a School Resource Officer. Cpl. Killian's outstanding performance led to her promotion to Master Police Officer in 2021. She will now return to the Criminal Investigations Division, where her expertise will continue to benefit our community.

Cpl. Casey Hoover, with seven years of service with the Statesville Police Department, also began in the Patrol Division.  He is currently in the Criminal Investigations Division and serves as a member of the Special Response Team.

These promotions reflect the Statesville Police Department's commitment to recognizing and rewarding the hard work, dedication, and excellence of our officers. Chief Onley commends Cpl. Austin, Cpl.
