PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (KBSI) — Flags at the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office will remain at half-staff through Friday following the death of former Richland Police Chief and Hazelgreen Fire Chief Eric Price, authorities said.

Price died Monday, March 16, according to Sheriff Stacy Ball.

The move also honors Lt. Marcus “Rob” Robison, who died days earlier. Officials said the county has lost two longtime public servants within a short period.

Price previously led the Richland Police Department and the Hazelgreen Fire Protection District. Authorities said he was known for his leadership and commitment to public safety.

“Two men who helped make Pulaski County safer, stronger and better,” Ball said in a statement.

Officials are asking the community to keep Price’s family, along with members of the Richland Police Department and Hazelgreen Fire Protection District, in their thoughts.
