Michael Sparks has been a familiar face on the Moundridge Police Department since 1995. This month, he was promoted to chief of police. Despite nearly three decades of policing, Sparks said, as a child, he wanted to be a pilot. In high school, police work caught his attention and became a career. “It’s a mix of things, helping people and being part of the community. It’s cliche, but it’s really what it’s about,” he said. As a small-town resident, Sparks grew up in Halstead and made his home and raised his six children in Moundridge with his wife, Frances.
