	&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;quot;Deputy Chief Ward has the full condidence of both the City administration and the men and women of the Bartlesville Police Department. Throughout this process, it was clear that not only is he prepared to lead, he is deeply committed to doing so with integrity, transparency and dedication.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Ward began his law enforcement career working for the Kay County Detention Center in 2010. He joined the Bartlesville Police Department in 2012 where he served as a K-9 officer until 2022. Ward earned the rank of Corporal in 2018 and Sergeant in 2020. Ward was named Captain in 2022 before being promoted to Deputy Chief in 2024.&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Newell will continue to serve as Acting Police Chief in Ickleberry&amp;#39;s absence, who has been on leave since December 2025 due to medical issues.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
