About Hobart, Oklahoma
Nestled in the heart of Kiowa County, OK, Hobart boasts a tight-knit community of just over 3000 residents. Despite its small size, however, Hobart PD's commitment to technology is on par with that of statewide agencies.

Hobart's eight sworn officers exceed all training requirements. In fact, they can even teach some of the curriculum themselves - including CPR, first aid, RADAR and LIDAR.
Disatch
Hobart PD uses the powerful Avtec Scout system to dispatch for 19 agencies all over Kiowa county - connecting over 8000 residents to crucial emergency services in seconds.
