ENTERPRISE — As Interim Police Chief Alan Juilfs gets settled into his new role, the city of Enterprise is starting the process to find permanent replacement for former chief Kevin McQuead, who stepped down in September.
City Administrator Zak Bradshaw said he submitted information for a job posting for the position, but wants to get input from the city’s police committee before final approval.
Juilfs said he spent his first weeks on the job getting a feel for where the department stands and sharing his thoughts on its future direction. He said he already met with the police committee and both officers.
Juilfs noted he will be out of the office until Nov. 2, but hopes to begin taking calls alongside his administrative duties when he returns.
