VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) - The chief of the Valley City Police Department in eastern North Dakota is resigning after spending nearly 40 years in law enforcement.

Chief Fred Thompson says that his resignation will be effective in January. Thompson says he wants to spend more time with his family.

Valley City Administrator David Schelkoph says Thompson has been with the department for more than three years. He says the citizens of Valley City are safer because of the work Thompson has done.
