It is with profound sadness that the Lincoln Park Police Department announces the passing of Sgt. William Hackett (ret.) after a lengthy illness. Sgt. Hackett passed with his family around him at his home in Florida.

Sgt. William Hackett (ret.) served with honor and distinction with the Lincoln Park Police Department from April 1962 until his retirement from the force in July of 1987. Sgt. Hackett (ret.) was an active coach for the Lincoln Park Police Athletic League as a football coach. While serving as a police Sergeant, he also was instrumental in the formation of several of today’s Lincoln Park Police Officers in their early days under his tutelage. Sgt.
