New officer added to RC Police Dept.
Chief Billy J. Jones would like to introduce Officer Nathan Coleman. Nathan Coleman is the son of Tom and Brenda Coleman, of Richland Center. Nathan graduated from the Richland Center High School in 2018. Throughout high school, Nathan was involved in many different sports and now he spends most of his free time hunting or fishing. Nathan hopes to get involved with youth sports as a coach whether that be in wrestling, basketball, or football.
Nathan recently graduated from the 720-hour Law Enforcement Academy at Southwest Technical College in Fennimore and is excited to be able to give back to his hometown by working for the Richland Center Police Department.
Nathan is currently in phase two of the Police Department’s 14-week field training program and can’t wait to be out on his own serving the community. Please help welcome Officer Coleman to the Police Department and to the City of Richland Center by waving or saying hi if you see him out and about.
