Chief’s Report
• Officer Daniel Thorson has served the Villages of Little Chute and Kimberly for the past 30
years, first on the Kimberly Police Department and then with Metro when the joint department
was formed.
• The department has ordered the new squad, as approved in the 2020 budget. The squad is a
hybrid model which will save wear and tear on the motor, provide fuel cost savings, and have a
lighter impact on the environment.
• The CSO hiring process is underway. The goal is to have two hired with a start date the second
week of March. The squad for the CSO is being reset with new graphics and amber and red
lights.
• The crossing guards were recognized with a donut social on January 17th as part of Adult
Crossing Guard Appreciation Week.
