COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bartholomew County will soon have a new emergency management director.
Shannan Hinton was approved by Bartholomew County Commissioners Monday morning.
Hinton will replace retiring emergency management director Dennis Moats on January 19. Hinton had served as deputy director under Moats from 2002-2008.
The Decatur County native is stepping down as District 8 Coordinator for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to assume the new role in Bartholomew County.
Hinton was selected by a panel of county officials including Moats, who labeled her as “highly qualified.”
