This morning, Trooper Nick Hatfield and Trooper Hunter Manning reported to the Evansville District to begin their new careers as Indiana State Troopers. They were among 47 graduates of the 73rd Indiana State Police Academy, which graduated May 1 in Indianapolis.
The 73rd State Police Academy began November 10, 2013, after 3,000 applications were submitted and 80 people were selected to attend. Of the 80 that started, 47 graduated after completing 25 weeks of training that included 600 hours of classroom instruction and nearly 300 hours of hands-on practical and scenario based training exercises.
Trooper Hatfield, 30, is a native of Oaktown and a 2001 graduate of North Knox High School. He currently has 60 college credit hours and is pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. Hatfield spent five years in the United States Army and was deployed to Iraq on two different occasions between 2003 and 2008. After being honorably discharged from the military, Hatfield was employed as a police officer with the Sullivan Police Department from August 2008 to March 2013. After 4 ½ years, he was hired as an internal affairs police officer with the Indiana Department of Corrections at Carlisle where he worked six-months before being hired by the Indiana State Police. Hatfield and his wife, Hannah, reside in Knox County with their two children.
Both troopers start their 14 weeks of field training with experienced troopers today. The program allows them to put the skills and knowledge they gained in the academy to work in the field. Upon successful completion of the field training program, they will receive their own patrol car and begin solo patrol responsibilities.

Beginning in June of 2013, my office launched WeTip, a completely anonymous crime reporting hotline, to aid law enforcement and to empower citizens to take an active role protecting our community. As with any large scale initiative, we knew that our initial challenge was to effectively promote and advertise the program to the community. We asked for your help in making WeTip a success, and we could not have been more impressed.
In less than a year, with your help, we have made WeTip a household name. We have received tips that have aided in the investigation of murders, drug dealers, vandals, and many others who threaten to do harm to those in our community. Tips have led to the arrests of fugitives, taken illegal firearms off the streets, and significantly aided law enforcement in directing their efforts to protect our community.
Our community’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Vanderburgh County WeTip program was recently awarded the National Safety Award based on the overwhelming support that the community has given to the program. In less than a year, this program has become one of the most successful tip lines in the country both in the number and in the quality of the tips received.
On behalf of the entire law enforcement community, thank you for all that you have done to make this program a nationally recognized success.

Mole #?? IS IT TRUE that if all goes according to plan tonight’s meeting of the Evansville City Council will be the night that the opportunity for Earthcare Energy LLC to cash in another $4.8 Million of taxpayer dollars will disappear forever?…that is because at our last contact tonight was selected as the night for the second and third readings and the vote to be done with this poorly thought out mistake?…of course Earthcare is still current on making the paltry $380 interest payments on the $200,000 in funds that Mayor Winnecke used a little known commission that administers federal money for economic development loans to sneak the money to Earthcare?…many people still want to know exactly who the locals behind this rotten deal were and what they expected to get for it?
IS IT TRUE tonight’s City Council meeting is also when the vote may be held to authorize borrowing $56 Million for the City of Evansville’s cost to do everything needed to put the IU Medical School in downtown Evansville?…the unanswered but puzzling question is why the resolution states that the interest rate can be as high as 7%?…when this was seen we had a bond broker check on what other cities municipal bonds were paying in interest and the answer came back that most financially healthy cities are able to float debt at 4.5% and that DETROIT’S DEBT IS TRADING AT JUST OVER 7% IN THE AFTERMARKET?…it is disturbing to see that Evansville is contemplating paying essentially the same interest rate of 7% that a bankrupt city under state control is paying?
IS IT TRUE the City County Observer calls on the Evansville City Council to delay the vote on this debt issue until after the 2012 City of Evansville Audits have been released?…to hold this vote knowing that the 2012 audit will be anything other than clean with reconciled accounts could about to withholding material information which is not treated lightly in securities trading?…of course if the City Council would authorize the release of all notes or recordings made at the exit interview RIGHT NOW, all material information would be on the table so an honest knowing vote could be cast by all?…withholding material information is exactly what Earthcare Energy LLC did to the City Council back in 2012 and now it seems like some of our Council members are doing the same thing to the ones who were not in the 2012 audit exit interview?…we wonder if the members of the City Council and the Office of the Mayor understand just how serious withholding material information is?
IT IS TRUE in an article printed in the July 22, 2010 Courier and Press written by Tom Langhorne, that newly elected GOP party Chairman Wayne Parke admitted that he voted for Hillary Clinton for President in the 2008 Democrat primary?…that that in the recent Republican primary, Mr. Parke accused County Commission candidate Bruce Ungethiem of not being a true Republican?…posted below are the remarks made by newly elected GOP Party Chairman Wayne Parke in a 2010 Courier and Press article and ask yourself do you think Mr. Parke is a true Republican?
REMARKS MADE IN A JULY 22, 2014 COURIER AND PRESS INTERVIEW
“Parke acknowledges voting for then-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 Indiana Democratic presidential primary. Under circumstances that can be complex, voting in a Democratic primary can make GOP officers and candidates in Indiana ineligible to carry the party’s banner.
Parke finds humor in his vote for Clinton, whom most Republicans consider an archenemy of the GOP.
“I was deeply concerned about Barack Obama,†he said. “I can remember as I asked for a Democrat ballot, I turned to my wife and said, ‘Did you hear that?’ And she says, ‘What?’ And I said, ‘Well, my dad just turned over in his grave.â€
