Grant: The Police Department is pleased to announce
that we have been awarded a Bureau of Workers Compensation Safety
Grant for
the installation of directional lighting on the rear of our police
cruisers. The grant is in the amount of $2,369 with the village
contributing a local match of $1,184. The lighting will notify
traffic which approaches a stopped police cruiser to move over
and slow down as required by law. The directional lighting has
proven to be beneficial to officer safety in other communities.
So remember, look for the lights and MOVE OVER. Help us keep our
officers safe!!
