"Been in law enforcement since 1967.  Been here in Goddard since 1985."

 When you see Goddard Police Chief Doyle Dyer driving his very hip P.T. Cruiser down the highway—he's either on a police call, or something needs fixing.  

"The biggest charge I get is being able to help the citizens."

So, if you think this police chief just sits in his office shuffling paper...you would be wrong. 

"I got to where I was wanting to improve the town, so I built the picnic tables, plus I built the shelters for the tables."  

And this is only the beginning of a long list----over by the school, he had this drainage ditch graded and cleaned so water wouldn't back up.

He was afraid cars might go over this culvert so he had a wall put up.

But he is proudest of this little building that was built with all donated supplies.  Inside,  bicycles for kids—that he has repaired so the city can give them away to needy children.  

"I'm a man of few words, but it makes me feel pretty good."

This man of few words is well-liked by city staff—but there are more surprises.  In the Goddard court clerk's office—you'll notice a painting—the artist?  Chief Dyer!

In the chief's office comedian Red Skelton's likeness almost overshadows the quiet spoken chief.  

"A lot of people come in and see my name on this painting and they can't believe I did the painting."

He did that and more.  When Chief Dyer sees junk just lying around, he makes sure it's taken to the dump. 

And as he scoots around town, you'll even see him picking up trash along the side of the road.  "Its just part of my job."
