JROTC Raider Team Rises Above the Competition!
The Raider team was successful once again at the annual Marion Raider Championship!
On April 28, Hobart cadets took home second place overall out of eighteen competing teams! The team also placed in eight of the ten events! The day of the competition was intense, lasting over eight hours. Cadets were tested on their strength and teamwork with each passing event. The team, despite the different levels of experience between seniors and freshman, gave their best throughout the whole day and earned their trophy! Just two weeks later, on May 12, cadets returned to Marion to attend the Marion Biathlon, which involved running up to four miles and shooting fifteen small targets. The performance was incredible! Cadets Murphy and Wright partnered together and were the fastest male team, while Cadets Greenleaf and Salinas took home second place for the female teams! Cadets Gearhart and Wehmeyer also earned second in the coed category! The Raider season ended with wonderful accomplishments! Great job Brickies!

HPD Press Release - SRO's In The School City of Hobart!
The Hobart Police Department and the Superintendent of School City of Hobarthave been working on efforts to improve school safety at the schools during the school year. Dr. Peggy Buffington and I have shared the goal of having a police officer in every building for a number of years.
During my first few months as Chief in 2013, we brokered a sharing agreement to add a K-9 officer to the high school, while maintaining the existing SRO at the middle school. At the time, we were the first school district in the state to have a K-9 team assigned to a school district. We also expanded our Too Good for Drugs and Violence program that grew from one officer teaching in the elementary schools to six officers that volunteer to teach the program. The relationships built at such an early age are priceless.
In addition to our SRO commitments, we have provided increased patrols of all the schools in the district. It had become commonplace to see police cars and officers in and around the schools at arrival and departure times, as well as, routine visits throughout the school day. Officers would stop regularly and visit with staff and students, sit down for lunch with students, and along the way forge better relationships between the police and the school community. In partnership, we also moved our National Night Out event to the Hobart High School facility. Our shared resources have allowed us to expand the event year in and year out to provide a family fun event for all.
In 2017, your police and schools continued the discussions on how to expand on police presence at the facilities. In an era where mass shootings seemed to be occurring more often, it appeared it was time to expand on an already strong SRO program. In the Spring Semester 2018 of the school district, we negotiated sharing resources on an hourly basis for arrival and departures. Officers volunteered for overtime to fill these time slots.
Now, with the start of 2018-2019 school year, the police department and the school district are proud to announce 4 additional SRO’s will be added so there will be an SRO in every school building in the district. Out of those 4 additions, 1 will be a K-9 team. The goal will be to have an officer in every school every day while children are in school. The K-9 team will be made available for the needs of any school building, as well as, the other K-9 teams assigned to Patrol. During the summer, SRO’s will not only complete state mandated training for SRO’s, they will go through additional, intensive shoot/don’t shoot training, and building search and response training with our other officers.
None of this would be possible without the strong support of the Hobart School Board, Superintendent Peggy Buffington and her staff, as well as, Mayor Brian Snedecor, Clerk Treasurer Deb Longer, and the City Council. I am proud to say that our partnership with the school district will put us on the forefront as some of the safest schools in America. While all of the best training, equipment, and planning cannot prevent all circumstances, we WILL be in the best position to overcome such an event.
