KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe Friday appointed former Kansas City, Missouri, City Councilman Heather Hall to the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners.
Hall’s appointment was one of several announced Friday by Kehoe.
In addition to her role on the council representing Northland residents, Hall has spent time with the Clay County Board of Election Commissioners and has been involved in the Veterans Community Project and Variety KC.
She replaces outgoing Commissioner and Board President Dawn Cramer.
The commission is comprised of four Kansas City residents appointed by the governor and the city’s elected mayor. The five-person board oversees police operations through state statute.
The city’s police department is one of two in Missouri - the other is St. Louis City - that are under state control.
Hall’s appointment quickly drew praise from Councilman Nathan Willett.
“Heather is a common-sense leader who will serve our community with integrity,” Willett said in a post on social media.
