Dr. Dionne Poulton and Chief Roy Whitehead

This episode of “The Dr Dionne Show” features an exclusive one-on-one discussion with Police Chief Roy Whitehead with the City of Snellville Police Department. The candid conversation covers key issues that inform and impact police and public transactions in our cities today. No topic is off limits. They discuss unconscious bias, racial profiling, police shootings, community policing, de-escalation training, leadership, accountability, and more. Emphasis is placed on resolution, clarity, and improving the current state of race relations in the U.S.

Chief Roy Whitehead/Snellville Police Department

Chief Roy Whitehead with the Snellville Police Department began his law enforcement career with the 178th Military Police Company of the Georgia National Guard in Monroe, GA in 1971. His civilian career began in 1977 with the Clarke County Police Department before becoming the Chief of Police in Summerville, SC in 1995. In 2004, he was named the Chief of Police in Snellville, GA.

He has a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, cum laude, from the University of Georgia; attended Law School at Georgia State University; and took Masters’ courses at The Citadel. In addition, Roy served as a consultant to a contractor of the U.S. Department of Justice in helping communities transition into community-oriented policing. He previously served as Vice-Chairman of the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council.
