Prince William

Hill is the first African-American to be elected to the job since the founding of the county sheriff’s office in 1731. After arriving in the area in 1968, Hill has had a long career in law enforcement. First, he worked as a Manassas police officer and later as the Prince William County Jail Superintendent.

Over the years, he’s watched Prince William County and Manassas grow from a rural community outside Washington, D.C., to the state’s second-largest jurisdiction. In that time, the county became a more colorful place.

Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham appointed a number two.

The department tapped Kimberly C. Chisley-Missouri as its new assistant chief. Major Chisley-Missouri is the first African-American woman to serve as an assistant chief with the Prince William County Police Department.

Acting County Executive Elijah Johnson presented the Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Budget to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday, February 15, during the Board meeting.

“Throughout the FY2023 budget process, I will facilitate discussion, provide guidance, and pursue solutions to accomplish the goals and priorities established by the Board of County Supervisors. The proposed fiscal plan is now in the hands of the Board and the community. By working together, the fiscal plan will continue Prince William County’s tradition of serving the community first while maintaining the county’s strong financial management,” said Johnson.
