NEILLSVILLE - Lawrence F. Hadzima, Neillsville police chief for the last 2 1/2 years, has announced his resignation.

He'll be leaving the post November 11.

In a letter to Mayor Bob Lulloff Friday, Hadzima said that "due to a deterioration pf my physical health stemming from injuries received in Vietnam, I find that I am no longer able to function as a law enforcement officer."

Hadzima began his duties as police chief on June 1, 1981, when he replaced Walter Leggate. He had previously served as a special investigator for the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department.

The Neillsville Police and Fire Commission will meet Monday night to begin selecting Hadzima's successor.
