CEDAR RAPIDS - The window for candidates to apply to be Cedar Rapids' next police chief will close May 21, human resources Director Conni Huber told the City Council's Public Safety Committee on Monday.
Huber said a search consultant, the Mercer Group Inc. of Santa Fe, N.M., will work with the city's Civil Service Commission to come up with a list of finalists. City Manager Jeff Pomeranz will make the final selection with the approval of the council.
The new chief will replace Greg Graham, who left the job in January. Interim Police Chief Dick Stephens retired at the end of March, and the department's three captains, Tom Jonker, Steve O'Konek and Bernie Walther, are trading off in the position until a hire is made.
