South Whitley hires new deputy marshal; probationary pay set at $55,000 until academy graduation
Summary
The council approved the hiring of Isaac Haupert as a deputy marshal after a polygraph cleared him, and approved a probationary pay rate of $55,000 annually until he graduates from the police academy.
The South Whitley Town Council on July 23 approved the hire of Isaac Haupert as a deputy marshal and set his probationary pay at $55,000 a year until he completes the police academy. Town Marshal Mikel Vandevender reported that Haupert’s polygraph results “came back and everything looked great.”
Council Vice President Brock Waterson moved to hire Haupert and Councilman Trey Weber seconded; the motion passed 2‑0. Waterson then moved to establish Haupert’s probationary salary at $55,000 annually until academy graduation; Weber seconded and the motion passed 2‑0. The council did not specify a date for Haupert’s academy graduation or when the pay would change post‑graduation.
Why it matters: The hire increases the town’s sworn staff and sets a temporary salary for the probationary (pre‑academy‑graduate) period. The council’s action was recorded as formal motions and votes.
