Former Whitemarsh Police Chief Named Tredyffrin Superintendent

WHITEMARSH, PA — Former Whitemarsh police chief T. Michael Beaty was unanimously appointed as Police Superintendent of the Tredyffrin Township Police Department at a recent meeting, officials announced.

Beaty will assume the position on July 10, with an official swearing in ceremony to take place at the Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Monday, July 17.

Beaty most recently served as the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy where he managed an organization of 110 sworn deputies and 25 civilians, according to Tredyffrin Township. In that capacity, he introduced new technology solutions to improve efficiency and implemented an improved policy management system to align with current law and best practices.

Prior to the working for the sheriff's office, Beaty served as Chief of Police for the Whitemarsh Township Police Department where he served for 30 years, the township said.

During that time, he was a patrol officer, served as a field-training officer and was a member of the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Montgomery County Drug Task Force, according to the township.

In 1993, he was promoted to detective in the investigation division where he served for seven years. He also served as the Bureau of Narcotics Investigation Drug Task Force Coordinator.

In 2003, Beaty was appointed to lead a patrol platoon before successive promotions to sergeant and eventually lieutenant in 2007. He also led the department’s accreditation effort, resulting in a successful accreditation award from the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, according to the township.

Beaty is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Temple University, the township said.

Giaimo announced his retirement in February after serving in the department for nearly 30 years and as the superintendent for five years.
