Fulshear City Council appoints interim police chief

The Fulshear City Council has unanimously appointed David A. Gott as the interim chief of the Fulshear Police Department. Gott brings 44 years of law enforcement experience to the role, including a long career with the Houston Police Department where he rose to the rank of captain and commanded various divisions such as homicide and internal affairs.

This appointment follows the removal of longtime Police Chief Kenny Seymour on September 15. Seymour, who had led the department for 15 years, was dismissed after an independent investigation reportedly uncovered ‘overwhelming evidence of misconduct.’ Prior to his removal, Seymour had been on paid administrative leave since late August.
