Bainbridge Island Police Chief Matt Haney is leaving his post to take a job with an Eastern Washington tribe next month.
Haney, 55, gave official notice of his resignation today.
He’ll continue as chief until mid-February. Deputy Chief Jon Fehlman, who was hired in November, will take over the department until a replacement is selected, Mayor Darlene Kordonowy said.
Haney will retire from the state retirement system before assuming his new duties as the Confederated Tribes of the Colville’s chief of police.
