Burrton’s new full-time police officer, Mason Hinz, sees the community as a good fit for him. “I’m excited to be here and bring a new set of eyes to everything,” he said. Hinz’s first day with the department was Sept. 30, and he said he is liking his new job so far. “The first couple days have been kind of some admin, paperwork, and taking care of some stuff,” he said. “I went and walked around the schools and drove around town, kind of some introductions to faces around town. So far, it’s been an awesome experience. I’m excited to be here.” Hinz comes to Burrton after working for Halstead Police for the past two years. Through that job, he assisted Burrton Police on some calls. “So I’ve been a few times but haven’t really had a chance to just drive around and learn a lot about the city or the community,” he said.
