MEET DAVID O’NEIL

As the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Division for the Brentwood Police Department (BPD), my name is David O'Neil, and I find myself in the midst of an unexpected but exciting venture - a campaign for the Williamson County Commission District 6 seat.

My journey in public service spans over three decades, and this campaign is, for me, a continuation of my commitment to being involved and engaged in serving the public. Having devoted the entirety of my adult life to public service, I am set to retire from the BPD in September 2024. The prospect of transitioning to a new form of public service felt like the perfect next step.

My dual roles as both a police officer and an attorney since 2008 reflect my profound love for the law. Through these experiences, I've learned the importance of gathering information before drawing conclusions or passing judgments. My approach involves a thorough study, a quest to understand all sides of a situation, and arriving at conclusions based on facts.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and coaching boxing athletes at Music City Boxing. Here I have found a passion for guiding and encouraging young athletes to achieve their goals. This has lead to an amazing community and connections with athletes and professionals all around the country.
