City of Bloomington issued the following announcement on June 19.
City Manager Tim Gleason recently announced his selection for Bloomington’s Interim Police Chief. Immediately following Chief Clay Wheeler’s retirement on Friday, June 21, current Assistant Chief Greg Scott and current Assistant Chief Dan Donath will split the time serving as Interim Chief equally until the City Manager selects a permanent hire. A national search is currently being conducted by the City and is anticipated to be completed later this summer.

We are very fortunate to have Greg Scott and Dan Donath as Assistant Chiefs, both ready and willing to serve the department and community in this Interim capacity,” explains City Manager Gleason. “I feel confident both of them will be able to lead the department well as we continue to look at all possibilities for permanent Police Chief.”
Chief Wheeler retires Friday after serving 31 years in law enforcement, 28 with the City of Bloomington.
