Little announced his resignation via the Magee Police Department Facebook page with the following statement:
"Let me begin by thanking the City of Magee for allowing me to serve as your Chief of Police. I firmly believe that the City of Magee, its Board of Alderman, and the Magee Police Department have grown together to make a stronger and safer city. Knowing this has made the difficult decision of moving on a little easier.
I have been blessed with an offer that will better the lives of me and my family. After much prayer and consideration, I have accepted this offer. While I am formally resigning as the Chief of Police for this city, I still have high hopes and great expectations for the future of the Magee Police Department and the City of Magee.
I would like to thank the people of the City of Magee, the Board, and most importantly the men and women of the Magee Police Department. I am eternally grateful for the time I have served as your chief. It has been an honor and a privilege."
Sincerely, Chief Shane Little
