Interviewing Yankton Police Chief Candidates

The City of Yankton is conducting interviews this week to fill the position of Yankton Chief of Police.

Yankton City Manager Amy Leon says they identified four candidates who are taking part in face-to-face interviews this week.

Leon says they hope to have a new Police Chief hired in the next month or so.

Leon says they received around two dozen applications for the job.  The new Yankton Chief of Police will replace John Harris, who has held the position the past three years and is retiring in July.
