The son of a police officer became a police officer. “I love it,” said Corinth Police Department Sgt. Chad Harville. “I grew up watching my dad be a police officer and I always wanted to be just like him.” His dad, Scotty Harville, retired as the Corinth assistant police chief in 2014 – the same year Chad came back home after a stint on the Tupelo police force. “Corinth is a special place.
