Glasgow City Council To Interview 4 Candidates For Chief Of Police

The Glasgow City Council is moving forward in its search for the city’s next Chief of Police.

During an executive session Monday night, council members voted to narrow the field of applicants from fourteen down to four candidates. Those four individuals will now be invited to interview for the soon-to-be vacant position.

City officials declined to release the names of the candidates at this time but confirmed that all four are from outside the state of Montana. Interviews are expected to be scheduled within the next week and will take place in executive session to protect candidate privacy.

The council says once the field is narrowed further following the initial round of interviews, the remaining candidates’ names will be made public and community members will have an opportunity to meet them.

In other business, the council approved payment of the city’s annual GNDC membership dues in the amount of 3,192 dollars. Council members also approved the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 audit, along with the January 2026 financial reports.

And a motion to reappoint Todd Young to a three-year term on the Glasgow Police Commission failed on a three-to-two vote. Council Members Stan Ozark and Butch Heitman voted in favor of the reappointment, while Brian Austin, Darcia Schindler, and Kristi Brabeck voted against it. Council Member Lisa Koski was absent from the meeting.
