Scott Miller retired from his position as police chief of Siloam Springs in January, ending his two-year tenure. Following his departure, city officials have appointed Derek Spicer as the interim police chief.
Spicer will oversee the police department while the city conducts a search for a permanent replacement.
**Why this matters**
Leadership changes in the police department can impact community relations and law enforcement priorities. The appointment of an interim chief ensures continuity in department operations during the transition period.
