The new Police Chief McKinney joined the Troy police in 1995, was promoted to sergeant in 2004 and finally promoted to captain in 2015. The city said the McKinney is a graduate of Tecumseh High School, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Ohio State University, graduated from the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academic and the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command, and attended the FBI Academy in Quantico.
McKinney’s promotion opened a position for a captain, and so the city also announced it promoted Ryan T. Ormberg, previously a sergeant with the Troy Police Department, where he has worked since 2005.
Troy Mayor Robin Oda congratulated the two, saying, “I am confident that Chief McKinney, working with newly promoted Captain Ormberg, the other members of the command staff and officers, will provide positive leadership for the Troy Police Department during this transition and for years to come, looking for more opportunities to work with and for the community.”
