Captain Ozment began his service to the Summerville Police Department in 1993. During his 30+ year tenure, he has worked as a police officer, investigator, and most recently as Captain where he performed the duties of Assistant Police Chief. Captain Ozment is a graduate of Chattooga High School, attended the Georgia Chiefs of Police Chief Executive Training Course, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Reinhardt University. He resides with his wife and family in Summerville.

Captain Ozment has a mindset of compassion and service to the citizens of Summerville and expects each employee of the Summerville Police Department to maintain the same mindset when performing their duties. “What may seem like just another call to an officer could quite possibly be the worst moment in the victim’s life.” Additionally, he wants to continue striving to make Summerville a better place to visit and live by maintaining the following priorities: community engagement, transparency, and accountability, and ensuring that Summerville receives the public safety services that it deserves.

Congratulations to Captain Brian Ozment on his promotion! He will serve the City of Summerville well.
