2020–2026 · the department today, and one case in the appellate books
The town's modern enforcement is a marshal's department, and its modern appellate footprint is a case the town won. The marshal succession is carried whole in the government leg's file and at line strength here: David Combs was appointed marshal 21 July 2020; Brent Croymans was voted in 17 March 2021 and is verified in the minutes through September 2024, his 2025–26 tenure standing as that file's named gap. The one modern case that carries the town's name into the law reports is civil in form and police in substance: Whitt v. Town of New Carlisle, 20A-CT-2279 (Ind. Ct. App., 20 May 2021), in which five Town Hall employees alleged that a New Carlisle police officer, Brian Thompson, among others, had spied on private conversations in the police chief's and clerk's offices, in violation of the Indiana Wiretap Act and the federal civil-rights statute. The trial court granted the Town summary judgment, and the Court of Appeals affirmed, on the ground that the employees had designated no evidence that any electronic communication was intercepted or that anyone with final decision-making authority acted to violate their rights. The allegation and its judicial end both print, at the opinion's strength; the case is the town's whole criminal-adjacent appellate record. Two name-traps from the same searches are excluded expressly: the "Carlisle v. State" opinions concern defendants surnamed Carlisle in Boone County and South Bend, not this town; and the town's library appears in the reports only in an unemployment-benefits case (2015), which is not crime and is not carried.
