— The Bettendorf Police Department is getting a new police chief.
Lieutenant Doug Scott will take over as chief when outgoing chief Keith Kimball retires on April 30. Scott first joined the department in 2006, and he graduated from the FBI National Academy in 2024, making him the first Bettendorf police officer to do so in nearly 30 years, according to city officials.
“It is an honor to be able to follow in the footsteps of all the other great Police Chiefs who have served the City of Bettendorf. I am very fortunate to work for a department with such a strong culture, a team of forward-thinkers, and a technology-progressive environment. I am excited to continue that momentum as your next Chief,” Scott said.
Scott will be officially sworn in at some point in April 2025.
