CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The search for a new Police Chief in Valley City is underway following the resignation of former Chief Fred Thompson earlier this month.

City Administrator David Schelkoph said the position is posted and the deadline to get applications submitted to the city is tentatively set for January 27th. He said the review committee will be made up with officials from the city, Barnes County and one citizen to be named at a later date.

Right now Lt. Phil Hatcher is the Acting Police Chief of Valley City.

Meanwhile, the city will also be searching for a new city attorney over the next six months following the resignation of Russell Myhre. He will continue to serve as the city attorney until another one is hired.
