He did the job right, and he did it through the process,” said Mayor Ken Gabbert. “I’m proud of Erik. He did a great job for four years,” said Larry Rauch, the new chief, who had mentored Vierheilig through his 10 years in the department. Vierheilig credited his officers for the accomplishments and asked them to be equally supportive of Rauch in the year ahead.
