In August The Culver Town Council gave Police Chief Chad Becker permission to advertise for candidates to fill a full time vacancy on his staff and Becker came before the Council on Thursday Sept. 24 with his recommendation.
Becker said that he and his staff had gone through the interview process and asked the Council to approve the full time hire of Robert Williams Jr.
Becker said that Williams already had three years of service with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, was currently a part time officer in his department, and was also already Police Academy trained. He said those factors would make for a quick transition for his team.
The Council unanimously approved Williams as the towns new full time officer.
