The Mansfield Police Department welcomes a new full-time officer, Devan Nichols, 27.
Nichols, a Waldron native, relocated to Mansfield in 2016. He and his wife of four years, Halley Hattabaugh-Nichols have four children. The family decided to move so their children could attend Mansfield Schools.
“I decided to go into law enforcement and contribute as a public servant to the great community of Mansfield,” shared Nichols. “It has always been a dream of mine to become a police officer and I’m very proud that I get the opportunity to chase this dream.”
Nichols will attend the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy in September.
“I would like to thank Chief Robb, Mayor Black and the city council for this opportunity to pursue my dream of being a law enforcement officer,” added Nichols. “Also to my wife Haley for standing beside me through this transition in our life. And last, but not least, the citizens of the great city of Mansfield for being so welcoming to me from the start. It’s an honor to protect and serve.”
