Festus City Administrator on Chief Lewis retirement

(Festus) It was announced a few weeks ago, that current Festus Police Chief Tim Lewis will retire next year. Festus City Administrator Greg Camp says Chief Lewis has been a great person to work with since he took the administrator’s position five years ago.

Camp says the announcement gives the city a nice timeline to find a replacement.

Camp says it’s likely the city will fill the position before the end of the year and give the new incoming chief several months to work alongside Chief Lewis before he retires in May of 2023.
