HOBART (NBC 26) — The Village of Hobart and Town of Lawrence approved a new 10-year joint agreement for police services, and that will secure the future of the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department through 2035.
According to Chief Michael Renkas, HLPD was first established in 2001 as a way to provide 24/7 services to both communities while maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs to taxpayers.
Renkas says, "This agreement is a powerful statement about what's possible when communities come together with a shared vision."
This announcement comes just days after the Village of Kimberly voted to leave their joint department—the Fox Valley Metro Police Department—which now only includes Little Chute.
