Shenandoah City Council officially appointed Troye Dunlap as the Shenandoah chief of police during a Sept. 9 meeting.
"This is kinda like my favorite item ... which is usually a new employee, but this is a promotion of an employee," Shenandoah Mayor Ritch Wheeler said. "I don’t think this was a big surprise. Troye’s been doing such an outstanding job the last several months that this was a pretty easy one on the agenda."
Dunlap has been the acting chief of police since May 1 and was formally appointed as the interim chief of police during a May 13 meeting.
Dunlap has served on the Shenandoah Police Department for 23 years after joining in 1997 as a reserve officer. He oversees a staff of 17 patrol officers, one lieutenant, three sergeants, one detective, one investigator, two community resource officers, one evidence specialist and one administrative assistant.
