Neblock joined the Hampshire force in 2006.

“Sergeant Neblock has been an officer with the Hampshire police department for over nine years,” said Village President Jeffrey Magnussen. “He will make a great sergeant.”

The sergeant’s wife, Melissa, attended the swearing-in ceremony along with their son, Zac, and daughters Sydnie, Kaedyn and Logan.

Also in attendance were Hampshire Police Chief Brian Thompson; Officer Ryan Huber and his son, Jackson; Officer Ryan Edwardson; his wife, Bree, and their daughter, Audrey.
