City Manager Tim Gleason announced Police Chief Dan Donath will retire effective September 1, 2020.
Dan Donath began his career with the Bloomington Police department in 1994 and has served in a variety of roles. He became an Assistant Chief in 2018 and was promoted to Police Chief in 2019.
“It has been an honor to serve this community for over 26 years,” explains Donath. “After careful consideration, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter of my life and start to write the next. Police work is a very rewarding and very demanding profession. In retirement, I look forward to spending more time with family and focusing on those moments in life that you just can’t get back. I sincerely appreciate all the opportunities I have had at the Bloomington Police department to serve our great community.”
“I appreciate Chief Donath’s many years of service and wish him well in his retirement,” says City Manager Gleason. “We have a strong Police department that I know can handle this period of transition. The community should have full confidence that public safety is a top priority for the City.”
Current Assistant Chief Greg Scott will serve as Interim Police Chief, effective September 1.
