The Thorp Courier
Odds are you recognize the Thorp Police Department’s squad car, but maybe not the person driving it. Don’t be alarmed – that’s just Thorp’s new Police Chief Daryl Pries. A native of Wausau, Pries assumed this position in early July following the resignation of Ty Schneider. Pries did not have to travel far for the job as he and his family currently reside in Cadott. Pries had served in Cadott’s police department for nearly two decades, first as a part-time officer before advancing to patrol officer, field training officer and sergeant. In 2022 he was sworn in as Cadott Chief of Police.
