The next director of the Riley County Police Department may not be required to live in Riley County if the candidate chosen is an existing department employee and lives within a 30-minute drive.
The Riley County law enforcement agency board made the decision Monday during its monthly meeting as it looks to begin the hunt for a new director.
Board member Craig Beardsley said a committee was working on putting together the search for current RCPD director Brian Peete’s replacement and said the board had to decide whether there would be a residency requirement for the next person in Peete’s shoes.
