The City of Independence welcomes its newest police officer.

 

Dane Blumer was recently sworn in to serve the citizens of Independence. Police Chief Dustin Stafford says Blumer has always been the kind of person who wants to help others.

 

Blumer graduated from the Police Academy in October. Here, he takes the oath of office.

 

With his training complete and his badge on his uniform, Blumer now begins his patrol on the streets of Independence.
