Today, we honored our dear friend, Officer Leslie Anne Hulse, by dedicating a tree in her memory near the police department. Thanks to the Hamilton East Public Library and the Fishers Police Corps, this tree is planted in a place for all to see and enjoy as they walk the Nickel Plate Trail. Leslie’s mom Pam Huebschman said today she’s glad her daughter is back home at the PD. “It filled my heart with so much joy to know how many of you remember her. She loved her work, she loved the people she worked with. She loved the town of fishers,” she said. Leslie became a Fishers Police Officer in 1999 and left a memorable impression to all who met her. During her 10 years at the department she was a Field Training Officer, SWAT officer, DARE officer and Special Investigations Detective assigned to the iPATH task force combatting Human Trafficking. Above all else, Leslie was a daughter, sister, friend and Christ-Warrior! Her final reflection on life was to GET UP AND LIVE! We hope we make her proud as we take this to heart each day in our own lives! #echo6 #getupandlive @HamiltonEastPL @FishersIN @ScottFadness @FishersChief
