The Board of Works Meeting held on September 22, 2025, in Lebanon, Indiana, focused on community engagement and policy updates from the Lebanon Police Department.

The meeting began with a presentation about an upcoming community potluck scheduled for September 27 at 7 PM. The event aims to celebrate the city's cultural diversity, encouraging residents to bring unique dishes from their heritage. Featured foods include Peruvian chicken wings, spring rolls from the Philippines, and frittae from Haiti. In addition to food, the event will feature games and music, including trivia related to the dishes and a spin-to-win wheel for gift cards to local restaurants. The organizers requested a street closure for the event, which was unanimously approved by the board.

Following the potluck discussion, Major Hood from the Lebanon Police Department presented updates on several policies. He reported that the department has been reviewing and updating its policies, with 36 updates completed since the last round. Key updates included a new procedure for eyewitness identification and adjustments to the Jeanne Cleary Campus Security Act, which primarily affects the Vincennes campus. Additionally, a policy regarding the Records Bureau was updated due to a presidential executive order that discontinued a national accountability database.

The meeting concluded with a note of appreciation for the detailed presentations provided by the organizers and police department representatives. The board expressed support for the community potluck and the ongoing efforts to enhance police policies.
