Summary
Gladstone welcomes its new police chief, Kirt Yoder, a seasoned 32-year veteran from Leawood, Kansas, and an FBI National Academy graduate. Selected after a nationwide search, Yoder brings a proven record in leadership, community trust, and professional policing — praised by Mayor Jean Moore and City Manager Bob Baer as the ideal fit to advance Gladstone’s safety initiatives. Yoder, set to begin on September 28, emphasizes that effective policing hinges on trust, transparency, and service — and he’s thrilled to join a city committed to excellence and community growth.
