(From the Joplin Police Department)Joplin’s new Police Chief Richard Pearson will start his service with the Joplin Police Department on Monday, December 18. His day will start with an Official Swearing-In Ceremony as the Chief, conducted by Joplin City Clerk Holly Nagy.

I hope he is here to clean this cesspool up. Hopefully the prosecuters will get on board and get tough too. This used to be a great place to live .
