After 34 years in law enforcement, Newton police Chief David Dial is stepping down.


The city of Newton this week announced that Dial, who joined the department as a patrol officer in 1973, is retiring.


Dial, 59, was named chief nine years ago and said he's most looking forward to spending more time with his three granddaughters and one grandson. His last day is Dec. 21.


City Manager Todd Clark will start looking for a new chief in the coming weeks, Dial said.
