After a five-step process that has gone on since Oct. 22, 2021, El Dorado and its police department have announced that Mike Holton will be their next police chief. Holton will be replacing Police Chief Curt Zieman, who’s set to retire on March 23. “I’m deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve the city of El Dorado as your next police chief,” said Mike Holton. “I’m equally as honored to have the opportunity to step into the shoes of a man who served this community for over 40 years.” Holton served Butler County and El Dorado for 33 years, including 20 years under Police Chief Zieman. The Circle High School graduate is currently serving as the Lieutenant of the El Dorado Police Department. “I truly look forward to serving this community by building relationships with community groups, community organizations, and the citizens of El Dorado,” said Holton. “I look forward to serving El Dorado along with outside agencies in an effort to keep El Dorado a safe place to live, work, and play.”
