As the search continues for a new police chief in Centralia, Mayor Chris Cox discussed qualities he is looking for in a new chief.

Former chief of police Bob Bias and three other Centralia police officers resigned. Cox says the city has received several applications to fill both positions.

Nate Stoebe (STO-bee) was named interim chief of police Monday at the Centralia Board of Aldermen meeting. The city of Centralia is accepting applications for the police chief and police officer positions through November 3rd.
