Townsend has worked for 13 years as a certified police officer, and most recently for the Murray Police Department for the past seven years. He and his wife, Deana, live in Mayfield with their sons, Ethan and Andrew.
“It’s always nice to get a certified police officer who can go to work immediately without any additional training,” Mayfield Mayor Teresa Cantrell said. “David has a great reputation as an officer, and has made his home in Mayfield for years – it’s very natural for him to want to serve in the community where he lives.”
