INDIANAPOLIS (January 7, 2021) –Are you or someone you know passionate about public service? The Lawrence Police Department has officially launched a recruitment campaign in an effort to add the best, brightest and most dedicated to being the change they want to see in the community.
 
“We’re always looking for qualified individuals who have a calling for law enforcement and public service,” Lawrence Police Department Chief of Police David Hofmann said. “Through this campaign, we’re searching for versatile, diverse and well-rounded people that have common sense, good judgement and are ready to serve our community.”
 

To assist with recruitment efforts, Lawrence Police Department is ramping up its traditional and digital marketing efforts with an outreach focused on Central Indiana individuals and expanding throughout the state of Indiana.
