Police chief reports full staffing after new officer graduates; schools to run relocation drills
Summary
Monticello police reported a new officer passed the state exam and is in field training, the force is at full authorized strength, and schools will conduct relocation and reunification drills in early September and later in the school year.
Monticello’s police chief told the city council that Officer Dalton graduated, passed the state exam and is now in field training, which brings the department to full authorized staffing.
The chief said staff recently met with security personnel at a local clinic to clarify when clinic staff should call police versus using internal security; a vice president from the clinic’s security partner participated by Zoom. The chief also summarized school safety activity: the school year began Aug. 13 with no major incidents, and Washington School and Whiteheath will run relocation drills on Sept. 3, with notifications to the community. The department plans additional tabletop and a possible full-scale drill for the high school next spring.
The chief noted officers would support traffic and reunification activities during drills and that the department and school resource officer will have a presence at school athletic events. No council action was taken; the report was informational.
