The New Hampton Police Department is accepting applications for full-time officers through this Friday.
The department recently had one officer resign and a second is about to go on medical leave.
That’s Mayor Bobby Schwickerath, who says filling out the force is a challenge with increased competition for police officers across the region.
As of this past Friday, Schwickerath says they had received only one application. In addition to hiring a full-time police officer, the New Hampton Police Department is also looking for part-time, contract officers to help when RAGBRAI passes through town on July 29th.
More information on how to apply for both can be found below:
