     The Hampton Police Department is now fully staffed following the addition of new officer Dave Kelley.

     Kelley has been getting familiar with the local unit since he started August 12. According to Police Chief Bob Schaefer, he will fill the void left by Capt. Jim Hilton after he retires in September.

     Kelley comes to Hampton with more than 15 years of law enforcement experience.

     “I’m looking forward to getting to know the community, the people in the community and growing with this department,” he said.

     Kelley got his start in law enforcement in 1997 as a reserve deputy with the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Department. He worked as a jailer for the county the following year, and later became Rockwell’s police chief for two years. In 2001, he joined the Floyd County Sheriff’s Department where he remained until taking the position here.
