Brian Weimer, interim chief of the MU Police Department and major of operations, was named the official chief of police on Monday. He held the interim chief of MUPD position since July of 2020 when Doug Schwandt, former chief of police, announced his retirement.
In the subsequent press release, Weimer gave credit to the “exceptional'' team he works with at the MUPD for his acceptance of the position, saying that his belief in each member is what compelled him to become the official leader of the squad.
“I am proud of being part of a department that holds itself to the highest levels of law enforcement professionalism and best practices as shown by our commitment to accreditation,” Weimer said in the press release.
