The North Judson Police Department welcomed a familiar face to the full-time force during Monday night’s town council meeting.

Town Marshal Kelly Fisher informed the council that she recently received a letter of resignation from officer Jamie Conklin, who was brought on to the force full-time last August.

In order to fill the open spot on their full-time force, Marshal Fisher recommended promoting Officer Keaton Leszek.

She noted that he has been with the NJPD for over a year. He started out a reserve officer where he volunteered a lot of his time and was moved up to part-time status over the summer.

She added, “I feel that he’s a good fit and I would like to move him up to that full-time position. He and his fiancé, Jamie Dykstra, just purchased a house in Judson so that gives me reassurance that he’s here to stay. He’s with the Fire Department as well.”

The members approved Marshal Fisher’s request unanimously.  

Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe swore Officer Leszek in after the meeting adjourned. His full-time status will go into effect next week on Wednesday, October 30th.
