Clarinda Iowa has a new police chief.

Keith Neal is taking over for Keith Brothers, who is retiring after 21 years as part of a 44 year career with the department.

Neal, who graduated from Clarinda High School, moves to the daytime administrative role after 15 years as a night patrol officer as part of a 17 year law enforcement career.

Neal was among seven candidates, four internal and three external.

Bill Oliver
Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
