The Great Bend City Council had a chance to get to know the members of the Police Department a little better when the officers and other personnel were introduced Monday night.“As acting police chief, I want to recognize our police department for being an important part of our community at a time when nationwide many are questing the relations between law enforcement and the public,” said City Administrator Howard Partington. At the beginning of the meeting, Partington took time to share information about the department, then the council took a short break for a small reception and to exchange introductions. “I’ve seen some things that have troubled me,” Partington said.
