GoogleCurry's appointment comes after Davis' firing of the previous police chief, Donna Faulkner, on Sept. 1. Davis said she was terminated, but was reinstated on Sept. 10.
"She was supposed to come back on the 14th, but she didn't show up," said Davis.
He also said Faulkner would have remained at the same salary and would received all of her back pay. However, she would have been demoted to the position of second-shift officer.
Davis said he did not want to elaborate on the circumstances surrounding Faulkner's termination at this time due to possible future proceedings.
Faulkner was contacted for this story and she confirmed that Davis terminated her.
"I can confirm he did fire me," said Faulkner of Davis. "I can confirm he sent a certified letter demoting me."
Faulkner said she had no further comment at this time.
The city of Trimble ran an ad in the State Gazette during the latter part of September for a second-shift patrolman with POST certification.
Davis said Curry has been with the department for approximately 2.5 years and has 30 years experience in law enforcement including the position of chief investigator in Gibson County. Davis said he has the utmost confidence in Curry's abilities to be chief.
"He meets with me every day and keeps me 100 percent updated with everything," said Davis. "The more you know about things going on, the better you can keep a handle on them."
Trimble board accepts alderman's resignation
The Trimble Board of Mayor and Aldermen accepted the resignation of Alderman Jody Hinson at this month's city board meeting.
According to Mayor James Davis, Hinson accepted the position of principal at a school in Gibson County and he and his family will be moving from Trimble. However, they will remain in Dyer County. The board voted unanimously to accept Hinson's resignation.
The aldermen have until Oct. 20 to submit names of candidates to fill the position. The board will then call a special meeting and cast their votes to elect the new alderman. If no names are submitted, Davis has the authority to place an alderman in the position.
Finally, the board accepted a bid from Campbell Well Drilling to chemically treat water-well No. 2. The bid was for $4,750.

The Trimble police has never been able to get a handle on the drug problems. It's hard to when you look the other way. Nothing will change with this police chief either.
Don is a joke and has been at every other city that he has been employed by. Good luck Trimble will need it.
Don is a very wise and smart person,and knows how to mind his on business;but is well qualified in the field of law enforcement and will enforce the law ,when the occasion rises,using wisdom & sound judgement in doing so,he doesnt just ride around an harass people like alot do!!!! he will make trimble a fine police chief;;And will enforce the law to its fullest!!!
grace you are a very delusional person. Ask the folks of Dyer and Kenton how wise he was.
DELUSIONAL PERSON!!! Who are you to judge me!? when you don;t have any better thing to do with your time than talk about MR>currys track record;lets talk about yours!;you are verry dilusional to think you are perfect an have no problems!! I was born in kenton & live in dyer us folks have alot of problems;;too many too talk an say bad things about others;;Get some counseling !!!
Grace my track record should not even be discussed as I am not being named as police chief. Stay with me and keep focus. If Don was such a good police officer then why is he no longer still in Kenton or Dyer?
