A part-time officer with the Gillett Police Department for more than a decade has been promoted to full-time status.
Chief Shane Breitenbach told the Gillett City Council on July 11 that Officer Ashley Hull was promoted to fill the full-time officer vacancy, and she officially assumed the assignment July 15.
She was one of several applicants who had been interviewed June 19.
“Officer Hull has been a part-time officer with the Gillett Police Department for approximately 13 years,” Breitenbach said. “Officer Hull is also a certified firefighter and EMT. Over the years, Officer Hull has proven herself as a valuable asset to our community.”
The chief also welcomed two new part-time officers, Allison Braun and Katelyn Kurtz. Braun is currently a transport/court security deputy for the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department and has also served as a patrol officer for the village of Bonduel. Kurtz recently completed the Law Enforcement Academy at Mid-State Technical College and holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
“Both of these ladies possess a strong appreciation for small town America and a desire to creatively serve the public,” Breitenbach said.
