The city of Bagley has a new police chief. Adam Gunderson has been hired to fill that role.

The search to find a new police chief in Bagley took more than a year. The Bagley City Council fired former chief Renee Benson on December 22, 2021. In February of last year, the council appointed Ryan Schipper as interim chief, a role he has held since then until Gunderson started on the job earlier this month.
