Josh Dryden could become the next police chief of the Haines Borough if a contract agreement is reached with the current acting chief and is approved by the assembly.

Manager Annette Kreitzer said she met with Dryden on Feb. 5 and presented a proposal. Dryden told CVN on Tuesday he is reviewing the contract and speaking with other public safety officials before deciding his next steps.
