The North Judson Police Department has been in the process of finding an additional officer to complete their force.
Back in September, North Judson Town Marshal Kelly Fisher told Town Council members that her department was searching for a fourth full-time officer.
For the time being, the full-time positions are filled by Fisher and Officer Frank Thomas and Officer Rico Simpson. She stated that she was proud of the work done by everyone in the department, but the addition of another full-time officer would help everything fall into place.
Fisher said that the hiring process is complete and she’s eager to announce the new team member at the next North Judson Town Council meeting.
Fisher explained, “We went by a point system and all that is tallied up so we have our fourth full time officer and we’ll announce it on the 20th.”
Aside from receiving the announcement, the town council will also need to act on Fisher’s request to hire on the new officer full-time.
