Town marshal David Hobbs a Fort Wayne Academy grad

When the Milford Town Board hired David Hobbs on June 16, 1978, to replace former town marshal Lou Mediano, who moved on to the Syracuse Police Department, they were getting a man with very little actual experience. Now, 13 mbnths later, the town has a fully trained marshal in David Hobbs, who graduated Friday. July 6, from the Fort Wayne Law Enforcement Academy. Hobbs has been swinging a rough schedule for the past 15 weeks. His day’s routine has consisted of leaving his home. 210 Emeline Street, at 6:30 a.m.. arriving at the academy by .8 am., going through intensive training throughout the day, and coming home to do some evening police work before getting some much needed rest. Hobbs got interested in police work when his brother Michael was marshal in Leesburg. Michael is now with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department. David would accompany his brother often and when he learned of the opening in Milford, he applied, was interviewed and subsequently got the job. Indiana law requires than within one year of appointment to a police post that the appointee attend a training center and pass the minimum requirements for certification. The 15-week ordeal consisted of 360 hours of basic minimum curriculum. Courses studied included the law and the con stitutionality of the law, general police subjects, psychology and sociology, traffic, criminal subjects, scientific investigation plus an additional 40 hours in first aid and water safety. For these 40 hours, Hobbs received certification from the Red Cross in water safety, water rescue and first aid. Not all training centers receive this certification. In addition to the above learning categories, the academy spent a week at Fort Custer in Battle Creek, Mich. During this time, the men were trained in mock situations: The processes of a building search, nighttime activities, hostage situations, crowd control and automobile stop and search procedures. Also, the group was instructed in the use of tear gas, which Hobbs stated was his favorite lesson. He noted, “Each time we went through the routine, it seemed that I had the bad gas mask and the canister that went OfFseemed to always be the one I was nearest to.” Police work can have its drawbacks, even in training. Hobbs was very appreciative of the academy and stated that assistant police chief Smith of Fort Wayne was very helpful. There were speakers from the

state police department, the FBI and the CIA. The most important reason that Hobbs chose this academy was because he could go to school and still continue to do some of the police chores in Milford at night and on the weekends.

recognition to his deputy. Randy Veach: Sgt. Mediano. who Hobbs said has been a great asset to him along with other law enforcement • officials in the area: the Indiana State Police and Kosciusko County Sheriff Al Rovenstine and his deputies. Hobbs stated, “Al would send a unit outsat any reasonable time, which was usually after 11 p.m., so I could get my rest for the next day’s activity." While Hobbs feels indebted to several groups, the Milford town board in its last meeting Monday night expressed its appreciation for the dedication Hobbs has given to maintaining the town of Milford while he was learning at the academy.
