REPORT FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Chief Rens updated the commission on the hiring process. Three people were recently hired,
one started the academy last week and the other two will be starting mid-February. The
department will also be doing a background on a fourth person within the next couple weeks.
The department is currently trying two different body cameras. The initial camera chosen was
not liked by the officers, it was too bulky and not user friendly. K9 Sirius will also be getting his
own camera, thanks to the Citizen's Academy Alumni who raised the funds for the purchase.
The transport van will be arriving this week and will take a number of weeks for set up.
