Police Chief Ogden Announces Retirement

Mt. Lebanon Police Chief Thomas Ogden has submitted his notice of retirement to Municipal Manager Stephen Feller effective Sunday, September 7. He has accepted a position as Chief of Police for Carnegie Mellon University.

Mr. Feller shared the following information with me regarding Chief Ogden's retirement:

Chief Ogden was actually eligible for a full retirement in January of 2007. He has over 28 years of service with Mt. Lebanon, and has held every rank within the Department. He has served as Chief since 1999. He holds a Masters Degree in Public Policy and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy.

Chief Ogden has been an extremely effective Chief. He will be greatly missed. Mt. Lebanon has had only six individuals serve as Police Chief since 1940. We are committed to finding the very best candidate to assume this key position in the community.
