John Galle was selected Tuesday evening as Sumner’s new police chief.

The former lieutenant has served in Sumner for 10 years, most recently as the acting chief of police.

Galle replaces former chief Colleen Wilson, who accepted the job of police chief for the Port of Seattle in August.

Other candidates for Sumner’s police chief position included Kent Curry from Renton, Carl Cole from King County and Sumner Lt. Mark Mears.
