The City of New Hampton has extended the deadline to take applications for its open police officer post.
The opening was created by the resignation last month of officer-in-training, Nick Sylvester, who’s last day was May 26th.
Sylvester and Austin Hageman joined the NHPD last December, ending a six-month period of the department being short-handed, down two officers much of that stretch. Both were going through police academy certification training when Sylvester submitted his resignation. He will have to pay the City back for his academy training.Â
The City is accepting applications to fill Silvester’s vacancy, with the deadline for submissions now extended through June 30th.Â
A link to the police officer application form and description of the position is included here.
It was also in May that Tim Pederson took over as the new police chief, replacing former chief Zach Nosbisch, who left the NHPD to become Chief Deputy with the Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office.
