Valentine City Manager Shane Siewart announced that the Valentine Police Department has named Jamon Slama as new police chief, effective Thursday, November 28.  Slama will be taking the position held by current chief Dana Miller for the past decade.

Slama began with the Valentine Police Department January 5, 2004.

A few years ago, the Valentine City Council approved a 6-person police department.  With Miller’s departure, the department will be working with a 4-person roster.  The city continues to advertise the open positions in hopes of filling those vacancies.
