McPhillips.  The three remaining Officers are the Assistant Chief Lieutenant Mike Hutchinson, Officer Marla Schnell and Officer Brian Buresh. Together the combined experience and years of Law Enforcement service of the Officers of the David City Police Department totals over 61 years. Each Officer, as a condition of employment with the David City Police Department, has signed a commitment to the Law Enforcement code of ethics. The Police Department has three patrol units in its inventory that are capable of providing patrol and response in any weather. Currently the Department is located in a temporary facility pending the arrangements for a permanent location. This in no way interferes with the function or capability of the Police Department.

 

The David City Police Department has developed an outstanding working relationship with the Butler County Sheriff's Office, Nebraska State Patrol, Fire Marshall's Office as well as other area Law Enforcement Agencies. These relationships enhance the Law Enforcement services provide to the people of David City and Butler County. Because of the limited size of the Police Department every Officer needs to be able to perform all the duties of a law enforcement officer including; Criminal Investigation, Traffic Law Enforcement, Traffic Accident Investigation, Federal and State Statute Enforcement, City Ordinance Enforcement, Crime Prevention, Public Relations, Animal Control, Weather Spotter Services and assisting the other City Departments in the safe performance of their duties.
