West Burlington Appoints New Assistant Police Chief

West Burlington has a new Assistant Police Chief.

Sergeant Shaun Ryan was promoted to the position during a Monday Night City Council Meeting. Police Chief Frank Newberry told the Council that Ryan has stepped up following the departure of Lt. Richard Hand, and has been going “Above and Beyond” in fulfilling his duties.

Newberry said that even if they were to advertise outside of the department for the position, they wouldn’t find anyone more suited to the position than Ryan.

Ryan has been with the department since 2001.
