Attempts to reach Streeter Monday were not successful and a voicemail message on Streeter's phone indicated he had a new phone number as of June 3.

Lone Tree City Manager Seth Hoffman said, "We certainly wish him the best."

Streeter oversaw a department with 47 uniformed officers. He took the job in 2013 after spending 24 years with the Lakewood Police Department.

Hoffman said there would be a national search to replace Streeter.
