After what has been a lengthy process, the Silver Lake City Council heard that new Police Chief Kenneth Bradford will begin his duties on Dec. 7.
Bradford accepted the position in August pending criminal and phycological background checks.
The background checks, performed by the McLeod County Sheriff’s Department, came back with positive results.
City Clerk Kerry Venier will work with Bradford on training, goals and expectations as he moves into his new position.
Bradford recently met with Venier and acting police chief RJ Cripps. Both Venier and Cripps reported that it went well.
