When Bonnie Bowers took over as police chief in May she had to jump right in.
There was a budget to build.
There were officers to recruit.
But sometimes she still has to remind herself that she’s in charge.
“I don’t feel like the chief. I know I’m doing the job of chief and I am the chief but when someone yells chief I look around for Chief (Mike) King,” she said.
As her first 100 days in the position come to a close she knows what direction she wants the department to go — and where the officers she leads want it to go.
“It’s a good department. It’s a great crew. The people are our greatest asset,” Bowers said.
