Hawkins Sheriff's Department

The Hawkins Sheriff's Department is a fictional police department featured on the Netflix original series Stranger Things. It first appeared in the pilot episode of the show, "The Vanishing of Will Byers".

Overview
The Hawkins Sheriff's Department is located in the city of Hawkins, Indiana. It is run by a sheriff named Jim Hopper, and two deputies of note, Powell and Callahan. A woman named Florence works as a dispatcher at the office and does routine administrative work.

In November, 1983, the members of Hawkins Sheriff's Department found themselves working overtime, when a young boy named Will Byers suddenly disappeared. Will's mother, Joyce Byers, who had a long history with Sheriff Hopper, pleaded with him for his aid. Hopper exhausted all resources in searching for the boy. They eventually found a body, which they initially believed to be Byers, in a lake bed a the foot of a canyon. This later turned out to be a cleverly made duplicate orchestrated by the scientists over at the Hawkins National Laboratory.
