Power Restored! We were aware of a power outage and Mishawaka Utilites Electric Division expeditiously dealt with the issue and the power was quickly restored. MISHAWAKA, Ind., Marh 19, 2025 – The City of Mishawaka and Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) are reminding the public of work being done on high voltage power lines at the Pricket Marina Dog Park.  Out of an abundance of caution amid an ongoing project, a temporary fence has been installed to separate the active construction area from the usable part of the dog park. The Pricket Marina Dog Park has remained open to the community and pets since the safety fence was installed. The southern portion of the dog park is currently open, while the northern half will remain closed through early summer, weather permitting. Safety is paramount, and dogs and their owners must not enter the construction zone at any time.  Regular patrols of the park are ongoing to ensure the public’s safety.  During the duration of the project, we must mandate that community members stay out of the active construction zone and keep your distance from workers and equipment for your safety.

Jackson Laudeman and Noah Smith Sworn in Tuesday, August 15th by Mayor Dave Wood as Probationary Patrol officers.

There is no service provided by local government more vital than public safety. The Mishawaka Police Department’s proactive approach to police work continues to keep the City of Mishawaka a safe place to live. The constant patrols, painstaking detective work, active community involvement, and focused training are all fundamental strengths of the department. Mayor Dave Wood and his administration continue to be thankful every day for the outstanding work that is performed by the Mishawaka Police Department.

Two new additions were made today to the MPD ranks.  Mishawaka Police Applicants Jackson Laudeman and Noah Smith were sworn in today, Tuesday, August 15th by Mayor Dave Wood     as probationary Patrol officers.   Jackson and Noah have completed all department testing and background investigation and psychological examinations. They come to the MPD with police experience, as they both are lateral transfers from the Michigan City Police Department.
