The City of Davenport won’t go nationwide to find a new police chief after finding someone in their own back yard. Scott County Sheriff Mike Bladel has decided to take the job.The initial search fell apart and the city was getting ready for another search when Bladel decided he would take the job.Mayor Phil Yerrington says while Bladel was a good choice, he wishes city administrator Joe Pierce would have contacted him about the decision so he could have informed the city council.
