The Paoli First Responders would like to thank Ron Hopper and the students in the Automotive Technology program at Lost River Career Cooperative for the outstanding work they did painting the Paoli Fire Department’s new brush truck.

The students did an awesome job, and the finished product looks incredible. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and craftsmanship that went into this project. It’s always great to see our local students using their skills and talents to support the community and our first responders.

Thank you again to Ron Hopper and all of the students for your hard work and dedication. We are proud to have such talented individuals in our community!

The Paoli Fire Department was honored to take part in the America 250 Ice Cream Social on the square this past Sunday.

Today we would like to wish Detective Jacob Babcock all the best as he completes his final day with the Paoli Police Department before preparing to attend the Indiana State Police Academy.

Detective Babcock has dedicated countless hours of his personal time to community outreach, assisting citizens, and following up on drug investigation leads to help keep illegal drugs out of our community. His hard work, professionalism, and commitment to public service have made a lasting impact here in Paoli.

While we are sad to see him leave the PPD family, we know the Indiana State Police is gaining an outstanding officer. From all of your fellow officers at the Paoli Police Department, we thank you for your service and wish you success in this next chapter of your career.

We were going to have a big farewell dinner for him… but apparently Walmart was out of his favorite hot dogs.

Good luck, Jacob we are proud of you!
