After the entire police force resigned in August and September, officials in Kimberling City are poised to take a big step in rebuilding their police department.
According to a press release for the City, Mayor Bob Fritz confirmed Todd Lemoine as the candidate to be the new police chief of Kimberling City.
Lemoine was confirmed after a lengthy recruitment process to fill the vacancy.
Lemoine’s confirmation still needs approval from the Kimberling City Board of Aldermen, but he is expected to be approved and will start his new role on Nov. 8.
According to the release, Lemoine and his family recently moved to the Kimberling City area from Louisiana, where he served as the Director of Protection Division and Antiterrorism Officer to the Marine Forces Reserve Command. Lemoine is a retired Sergeant Major from the United States Marine Corps.
