Over the years, he has served as an investigations supervisor and the department's Public Information Officer. "This is exciting and humbling to be asked to lead these great officers in American Fork," Falslev said. "I am amazed at their willingness to go beyond simple enforcement matters to serve the public." Falslev said his department is committed to work with the residents to build a safe community. The new chief holds a master's degree in public administration from Andrew Jackson University and has completed advanced training. "In only a few short months, we have seen Darren lead the police department with a strong vision and a commitment to excellence," said City Administrator Craig Whitehead who appointed Falslev to the position. "His ability to quickly unify and lead officers during this interim has been impressive. That is why we decided to quickly put his appointment into play." The City Council confirmed Falslev's appointment on Aug. 9.
