Bentley Police Chief James “Tim” Bryan has been to the Olympics twice. Not as a spectator, not as an athlete, but as a security officer. He was at the 1996 summer games in Atlanta and the 2002 winter games in Salt Lake City. “It was a really good experience, and I was happy I got to do a winter and a summer,” he said. Bryan had been a state trooper in 1996 living in Valley Center at the time of the Atlanta Olympics. “They did a nationwide call for assistance,” he said. “The highway patrol for the State of Kansas was very supportive of it and allowed me to go.”
