The Search for a New Police Chief

The search for a new chief of police for the City of Sheridan is being expanded to include external candidates. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has more on what the means for the local applicants and the timeline for finding a new chief.

Tuesday we reported that City of Sheridan Administrator Stu McRae announced that the internal-only search for the Chief of Police has been halted, and the process would be expanded to include a wider group of candidates from both inside and outside the Sheridan Police Department. McRae said that the five applicants from the police department who had applied for the position are still in the mix and will be eligible to reapply for the position.

McRae talked about what kind of a timeline they are looking at for the hiring process.

In July, Chief Rich Adriaens announced that after 37 years in the business, over 10 of which were as chief in Sheridan, he would be retiring from active police work. Adriaens last day on the job will be Friday, September 18.
