Officers continue to patrol and are staying active in our community policing efforts. I want to thank all officers for a job well done, and their continued efforts to maintain a safe and secure community. Not much time has passed since my last report; I have no major issues to report. I am working with an applicant for the open Police Officer position, to catch up on past in-service training. When these steps are completed a conditional offer of employment will be offered to the applicant. After working shifts, and many extra weekends due to staffing shortage, I look to take some vacation time in April. Officer Brown will be moved from the split shift to day shift for a few months starting in April while we try to fill our open position. In the coming months I will cover shifts for officers to take their vacations. On 02/16/2025 Chief Turbyfill and Officer Brown responded to a domestic violence situation at the Scotchman Store.
