(KNZA)-- A new Horton Chief of Police has been hired.
Horton City Administrator John Calhoon told MSC News that the City Commission Monday evening officially hired Dennis Entriken for the position.
He is to begin work today ( Wednesday, October 18).
Entriken, who was raised in Horton and graduated from Horton High School, has more than 20 years of law enforcement experience. He has served with the Sabetha Police Department, Hiawatha Police Department and Nemaha County Sheriff's Office.
