PAPILLION, Neb. (KMTV) — The Papillion Police Department (PPD) will have an interim police chief following Chief Scott Lyons’ resignation.

Papillon Mayor David Black thanked Lyons for his service and wished him luck in the future.

“Scott has expertly led the Papillion Police Department and achieved many accomplishments in his six years,” said Black. “He has sharpened the department’s focus on community-oriented policing and led PPD to achieving the reputable CALEA accreditation. I thank him for his impact and wish him well in his new role.”
