On Sept. 21 when the resolution to appoint him was passed, Bob Priebe expressed his gratitude to his family for their support, to his predecessor and mentor Jill Keimach, to the town council and to the town staff, saying, "Staff is the greatest asset this town has, everyone goes way and beyond what is required of them. They are caring, smart people that make good decisions."
Mayor Mike Metcalf explained after the meeting that the reasons to appoint Priebe were multiple. "He's been in this town for 33 years, people trust him, he knows how the town operates," he said. Metcalf added that the former chief is very bright and picks up things very fast, that his peers and his staff respect him.
Priebe announced that Jon King, who was serving as interim chief for police, would become the department head on Oct. 1.
