Tully's "extensive background" and reputed integrity would greatly benefit the board's mission, according to an announcement on the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department website.
Amassing a broad range of experiences throughout his career, Lt. Tully has filled various positions that lay the groundwork for community engagement and operational efficiency within the department. His hands have been involved in overseeing the well-being of his fellow officers, steering crisis initiatives, and managing prisoner processing divisions, with his most recent role supervising the North Patrol District.
Upon stepping into his new shoes, Lt. Tully communicated his commitment to advancing the board's aspirations, voicing his readiness to contribute to its vision for both the department and the wider community. "I’m honored to be appointed Secretary to the Board of Police Commissioners and excited to support its work.
