(KNZA)--The Doniphan County community of Elwood has begun the search for a new chief of police.

Longtime Police Chief Larry Hunsaker will retire Friday, August 23.

Hunsaker notified the Elwood City Council at their July 16 meeting.

He has served as the city’s police chief for the past 15 years, and been in law enforcement since 1977. His law enforcement career in Kansas has included stints in Eudora, Leavenworth and Tonganoxie. Hunsaker had served as Doniphan County Sheriff from 2002 to 2004, and worked as an officer on Elwood’s police department from 1999 to 2001.

The city of Elwood announced in a post on its Facebook page Friday that the city is currently accepting applications for chief of police and those interested should contact city hall.

The police department has a staff of two full-time and three part-time personnel, with the sheriff’s department on call as needed.
