Shane McKibben, a veteran in law enforcement, is set to return as chief of police in Brown City, the same place where he launched his career over 25 years ago. He will succeed Ron Smith, the longtime chief. After years with the Warren Police Department, McKibben retired last June, but later decided he wasn’t ready to leave policing behind. Following his application, the council officially appointed him as chief, pending contract approval. City manager Chuck Bennett expressed confidence in McKibben’s extensive experience, anticipating a smooth transition for the department.
