Letter from Chief Tim Hoyt
With the retirement of our longtime City Manager Kirk McDonald in June, this past year was a transitional one for the City of New Hope. For the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a dual role – that of Chief of Police and as Acting City Manager. While the added duties presented its challenges, those challenges were overshadowed by new relationships formed, personal and professional growth and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and pride for the entire staff of both the Police Department and City Hall. Without their unwavering support and hard work, this changeover could not have sustained.
As for the Police Department, I am honored to lead such a dedicated and professional group of Officers and am in awe of the amazing work they do every single day to keep this community safe.
We continued to see staffing changes in 2022 as we bid farewell to Sergeant Marty Williams, Officers Andy Lamers, Kaitlyn Baker, Nadine Jacobs, Erick Dyer, Anthony Larson and Community Service Officer Scott Anderson. They will all be dearly missed and remembered for their outstanding service.
I remain committed to building that bridge between our community and law enforcement as we continue to strive for positive change, unity, and trust.
Sincerely,
Chief Tim Hoyt
