Three Wetumpka police officers will have more responsibilities after recent promotions.
Current Wetumpka police chief Ed Reeves was on the force as assistant chief in May when Greg Benton retired. The promotion set into motion a series of open slots for officers to move up the ranks. Nick Betts was promoted to assistant chief.
