(Sunman, Ind.) - The Sunman Police Department has been temporarily shut down following the firing of the Town Marshal. 

The decision to fire Jason Hoffman was made by Town Council on Tuesday during an executive session. The reasoning for his firing has not been released. 

Sunman Town Council released a statement on Friday regarding the law enforcement situation:

"The Sunman Town Council will not comment publicly on the private matters that are protected by the employer/employee relationship. We will confirm that we are actively conducting a search for a new Marshal. Serving the taxpayers of our community is our primary objective and a job that we do not take lightly. We are taking every measure necessary to ensure that our town has the appropriate people, equipment, and plans in place to keep our citizens safe."

Furthermore, the Town Council says the Sunman does have police coverage and at no time has the town been compromised or without law enforcement support.
