The city of Roeland Park is starting 2025 with a new police chief. After 25 years with the department — 11 of which he served as chief of police — and 45 years in law enforcement, John Morris retired from his position as Roeland Park police chief on Jan. 1. Morris told the Post on Monday that he decided to retire while he can still enjoy his family, traveling and taking some off-duty gigs here and there. Morris’ successor, Deputy Chief Cory Honas, was scheduled to be sworn in on Jan. 6, but the city is waiting to host that ceremony at an in-person meeting (Jan. 6’s meeting took place virtually due to the blizzard).
