Three Oaks accepts Police Chief Carl Krause’s resignation, effective July 30

Village of Three Oaks Council · July 8, 2026

Summary

Council voted to accept Police Chief Carl Krause’s resignation and authorized the manager to begin recruitment; the roll call was 5–1 with President Graziano dissenting.

The Village of Three Oaks Council voted July 8 to accept Police Chief Carl Krause’s resignation, which is effective July 30, 2026. The motion, moved by Thomas and supported by Springer, passed on a roll call vote: Ayes — Niemzyk, Thomas, Hinman, Jones, Springer; Nay — Graziano.

Village Manager Faulkner said the manager’s office will begin recruitment for a new police chief and rely on existing mutual aid agreements to maintain services during the transition. Chief Carl Krause told the council he is willing to “remain available during the transition period if needed.”

Why it matters: Chief Krause’s departure triggers a formal hiring process for the village’s police leadership and short-term operational planning to ensure coverage while a replacement is found.
