Bunker Hill, Indiana is without a police department today after all officers in the department.
The officers accuse the Bunker Hill Town Council of requiring them to “do illegal, unethical, and immoral things” and this was one of the reasons for the walkout.
“We have had issues with the town board and there are some activities there where I felt like they were serving their own agenda,” said former Bunker Hill Town Marshall Michael Thomison.
“They would not communicate with us or the officers and they kept scaling back.”
In a resignation letter sent to councilmember, officer safety and a lack of working equipment for the departments officers is listed as another reason for the walk out.
“I did not want to send someone out there with bad body armor so I would take mine off and provide it to the other officers. I told them we have to provide this, there is an IC code that explains that and says that the town has to provide that body armor,” said Thomison.
The Bunker Hill Town Council has not yet released a statement.
