DYER â The town is looking to shake up its leadership in the coming months.
During a special meeting Thursday, the Dyer Town Council extended an employment offer to current Dyer Police Chief David Hein to fill the role of town manager.
If Hein accepts the conditional offer, he would begin as town manager July 5. I m excited about the changes, and humbled by the support for the next transition. (It s) something I ve been working on for a long time, Hein told The Times. I was a fireman when I was 18. I was a dispatcher when I was 21. I was a cop when I (was) 23, and this is all in the town of Dyer. So it s a great way for me to continue my service to the town and the residents.
