Interim Hillsborough Police Chief Jason Winn is taking over the role permanently, advancing his climb through the ranks after 12 years with the department.

A release from the Town Hillsborough on Tuesday morning announced the promotion, with Winn succeeding former Chief Duane Hampton after Hampton took a job in Virginia Beach this spring. Prior to being named chief, Winn served as one of two majors in the department who assisted the chief with daily operations.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve in the capacity of chief of police with the Hillsborough Police Department,” Winn said. “Our community places a lot of trust in us, and we are working to increase our outreach and to keep building new relationships. We have been making great progress as an agency, and I look forward to being a part of the great things we want to accomplish.”

Town Manager Eric Peterson said after the six-month review of Winn’s work as interim chief — where he surveyed the police department’s employees, the executive committee of the Fairview Community Watch, and town commissioners — he felt comfortable elevating Winn to the permanent job.

“I’ve received a lot of positive feedback about Jason’s impact during his tenure as interim chief,” Peterson said in the town’s release. “There is strong support for the work that he’s done and the direction the department is heading.

“Jason and the Hillsborough Police Department team have continued what they’re well known for — active and positive community engagement,” he added. “When issues and concerns arise, the department and Jason are quick to reach out and open dialogues with individuals, neighborhoods, businesses and community groups to listen and help solve problems.”
