BEATRICE - Gage County officials Wednesday met the new Crime Victims Services Coordinator for Beatrice and Gage County.


Chevis Krull comes to the area from eastern Iowa.


"I worked the past seven years in the Quad Cities over in Illinois and Iowa, doing victim advocacy work there....primarily in domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, human sex trafficking....as well as child welfare, juvenile justice, diversity and equity work, child abuse prevention and providing mental health and first aid trainings. I'm also a national trainer, so I can provide that in this community."


Krull became coordinator this month, taking over for long-time coordinator Kerri McGrury, who now heads billing services for the new City of Beatrice-operated garbage hauling service.
