Keiser council names Glenn Dunn III police chief, approves new officers and community programs
Summary
The Keiser City Council unanimously appointed Glenn Dunn III as chief of police and Joshua Allen as a second officer, approved three part-time officers, and endorsed community engagement plans including a Neighborhood Watch and a youth 'HEROES' program.
The Keiser City Council on April 15 unanimously appointed Glenn Dunn III as the city’s police chief and approved Joshua Allen as a second full-time officer, expanding the department’s roster with three part-time officers.
Mayor Rick Creecy introduced Dunn and presented his background and certifications. Dunn outlined plans to increase citizen involvement through a Neighborhood Watch program and a youth engagement initiative called HEROES intended to involve children in public-safety education. The council recorded the part-time officers as Jerry Hamilton, Andrew Wyles and Austin French.
Councilmember Lynn Skaggs moved to appoint Dunn and Allen; Councilmember Joey Jackson seconded the motion and the minutes record that "all said aye." The minutes do not record individual vote tallies beyond the unanimous voice vote.
The appointment follows the council’s earlier discussion of police pension (LOPFI) plan figures presented by the mayor; Councilmember Jackson suggested deferring detailed pension action to a later meeting. The minutes do not specify implementation dates for the Neighborhood Watch or HEROES programs or budget changes tied to the appointments.
The council’s action becomes part of the department’s formal staffing list as recorded in the minutes; the next procedural step is implementation of the proposed community programs, for which no schedule was provided in the record.
