James Bettles has been fired as Enterprise police chief after 24 years with the central Kansas town.
He was let go on Thursday because he didn't prove that he'd completed required law-enforcment training.
He'd been suspended early last month after the city learnedthat, for five years, he didn't submit proof of required training to the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Commission.
All certified law-enforcement officers are required to complete 40 hours of continuing education and training each year.
The city council hired former police chief Carl McDonald as acting chief until a full-time replacement is found.
A hearing that could result in the revocation of Bettles' law-enforcement certification is scheduled for the 19th of this month in Topeka.
