Showing progress : Veteran officer will be Prairie Village s first Black police chief Luke Nozicka and Anna Spoerre, The Kansas City Star
Maj. Byron Roberson, a longtime officer in Prairie Village, will become the city’s first Black police chief when he is sworn in Jan. 4.
Roberson, who started serving Prairie Village and Mission Hills as an officer in 1995, works as deputy chief under Chief Tim Schwartzkopf, who plans to retire early next year after 27 years with the force.
In an interview, Roberson said he has been told he will also be the first Black chief of any Johnson County city. His appointment, he said, will show other people of color that rising to the top position “is obtainable.”
