We are incredibly proud of the service Chief Andrew Hilscher has provided, not only to the City of Bennington, but to communities across Nebraska throughout his career.
Today, Chief Hilscher received his plaque recognizing his service as President of the Metropolitan Chiefs Association, an honor that reflects the leadership and respect he has earned among his fellow law enforcement professionals.
Under Andrew’s leadership, the Bennington Police Department has continued to develop into a highly trained, professional, and prepared department. Our officers have not only received specialized training in these areas, but have also been trainers in these areas themselves, including Tactical Response, Specialized Response, Critical Incident Response, Emergency Response, and numerous other areas that prepare them to respond effectively when our community needs them most.
Chief Hilscher’s commitment to training, leadership, and service has helped strengthen not only his department, but the safety and preparedness of the entire Bennington community.
Thank you, Chief Hilscher, for your leadership, your dedication, and your commitment to serving others. We are proud to have you leading the Bennington Police Department!
