During a recent government meeting, officials addressed ongoing community concerns regarding traffic, emphasizing the need for enhanced enforcement and educational campaigns. The discussion highlighted the promotion of Captain Aaron Friedline to Assistant Director and Captain Brad Inglis to a new captaincy, with transitions expected to take place in early November.

As part of a broader departmental restructuring, several captains will be shifting roles, including Captain Yeager moving to investigations and Captain Steer to administration. The department is also set to initiate a promotional process for sergeants, corporals, and officers, which is anticipated to create a period of anxiety and excitement among staff due to the significant leadership changes.

In addition to personnel updates, the meeting revealed that the corrections facility is nearing capacity, with only one bed available. Officials are actively working with the county to address this issue and manage bondable offenses.

Concerns were also raised about the growing needs of the dispatch and IT sections, prompting plans for feasibility studies to expand these areas. The budgeting process for the upcoming year will begin early, focusing on non-personnel costs, particularly in IT. The aim is to present a budget proposal to the law board that remains significantly low within the six-figure range, reflecting a commitment to prudent financial management.
