Editor’s note: the following statement was released Wednesday by Fort Atkinson Fire Chief Daryl Rausch and Fort Atkinson Police Chief Adrian Bump.
Yesterday, the residents of Fort Atkinson voted to support the proposed public safety referendum to address staffing shortages in the Fort Atkinson Police and Fire Departments. Because of this support, Fort Atkinson will be able to hire two additional police officers, six full-time firefighter/paramedics, and six full-time firefighter/EMTs.
We are thankful to our courageous public safety staff for their service to our community. The addition of these public safety personnel will address the increasing calls for service and help ensure we have the fire and police staff we need in a way that continues to meet the growing needs of our community.
We also want to thank the Fort Atkinson community for supporting our public safety departments. Our departments are proud to serve and protect our community members and we are honored by your support.
