Hayden to hire David Blue as police chief
In a unanimous vote, the Hayden Town Council voted to hire David Blue as the police chief of Hayden. Should he accept the position he would serve the town of Hayden and then potentially work as the police chief for the combined police services of Kearny, Hayden, Winkelman and Mammoth. At press time it was not confirmed if Blue had accepted the position or when each community will hold a vote on the consortium.
In their motion, the Hayden Council stated that even if the consortium was not approved by the other communities they would still like him to be the chief for Hayden. The Town of Kearny did not have the item on their agenda. Should Blue not accept the position, Hayden will re advertise the position.
