New Hope Names Employee of the Year
Posted on 01/19/2023

New Hope Patrol Sergeant Mike TenEyck was named New Hope’s 2023 Employee of the Year at an employee recognition event held in December. TenEyck began with the New Hope Police Department in 2008 and served in various roles, including school resources officer, drug task force officer, SWAT and temporary sergeant before his promotion to sergeant in 2020. Over the past nearly 15 years, TenEyck has received many letters of appreciation and commendations. He was selected for the award for his excellence as a police officer, leadership, and contributions to the department and the community.

As an officer, Sgt. TenEyck takes the time to enforce but also educate as appropriate. As a sergeant, he is always looking out for the overall well-being of his officers. Mike’s contributions to the department are many – helping to plan and participate in training, volunteering to help with department and community events on his days off, and always striving to be a conduit between the police department, city hall and the community.

Additional nominees for the award included Linda Bergemann, community development office specialist; Brad Kallio, community relations and crime prevention officer and Andrew Kramer, parks and streets supervisor.
