(MSC News)--The Hiawatha Police Department is working to get donations to put a flag pole in the planter located on the east side of Hiawatha City Hall.
Police Chief John Defore says the flag pole will fly the Kansas State Flag in honor of longtime officer Michael Thompson’s years of dedicated service in the Kansas National Guard. Thompson died in January at the age of 57.
Defore says a plaque will also be placed at the foot of the flag pole in honor of Thompson’s 37 years of dedicated service to the citizens of Hiawatha.
Donations may be sent to or dropped off at Hiawatha City Hall at 701 Oregon Street or Hiawatha Police Department at 413 Oregon Street.
