Gary Boshears has been named chief of the Granite Shoals Police Department.
City Manager Ken Nickel made the announcement of the appointment during a budget workshop of the Granite Shoals City Council Monday night, Aug. 15. Boshears had been named interim chief to succeed J.P. Wilson in May.
“I have been pleased with Gary's leadership since taking over as interim chief,” said Nickel. “He has a professional management style and a long-range vision for the department.
“I believe these attributes will serve him well on the staff management team. We continue to work with and for the council toward making Granite Shoals the 'City on the Move' we want it to be.”
