(KNZA)--A new Horton police chief has been named.
The Horton City Commission at their November 16 meeting approved the appointment of John Boller III to the position, effective January 1, 2021.
Boller, who currently serves as assistant chief of police, has been with the Horton Police Department since September 2014. Prior to that, he served about a year with the Holt County, Missouri Sheriff's Department.
Boller has been training under current Police Chief John Calhoon, who also serves as city administrator.
Calhoon said the appointment of Boller as chief will free up more time for him to concentrate on his other duties.
