West Union to get new police chief Friday

West Union has chosen a Westminster policeman to be its next Chief of Police.  Mayor Linda Oliver says she will administer the oath Friday to Josh Eppes.  He will fill the vacancy created by the recent death of Charles Sanders.  Eppes is a son of Mike Eppes, a former West Union chief.  Westminster Chief Rory Jones wishes Eppes well.  Jones says, “We are excited for Josh.”  Eppes departure from Westminster will create an opening for a certified police officer to work in that city, Jones says.
