The History of the Burton Village Police Department

The Village of Burton was incorporated in 1895. The first election was held April 1, 1895. Charles Laraway was the first Marshall. Since that time, some of our Police Chiefs have been ~

Gary Barnes
Rand Barnes
Dorothy Wintermute (Mayor/Acting Chief)
Bernie Mullen
Robert J. Himmelein
Sally Hess
Dennis Nichols

In those early days there was a law that minors could not play pool. There were penalties for intoxication and driving over eight miles per hour. No one was allowed to pitch grouts on Main Street or play baseball in any of the streets. Now we have Gander Field behind the Elementary School and the Luoma horseshoe pit at the fairgrounds. We have come a long way.

If you would like to be a CERT volunteer, please contact Chief Richard Smigelski for more information:
