The Sellersburg police chief told the council that the town had not experienced major crimes in recent days and that officers will be conducting school-bus enforcement to catch stop-arm and pickup/drop-off violations now that school has resumed.

The chief reported routine calls but no vehicle burglaries, thefts or home invasions in several neighborhoods. The council discussed enforcement of school-bus stop-arm violations; officers will follow buses during pickup and drop-off times to monitor and deter motorists who fail to stop.

Charlie Smith also announced the town received a distribution of opioid-settlement funds from the Indiana Attorney General's office; the current disbursement totaled about $280.02. Smith said town practice is to use those restricted funds for police supplies and training and that prior disbursements have been larger in other years (the largest noted was about $2,100 in a year).

Ending: Police will continue routine patrols and targeted school-bus enforcement; staff said the opioid-settlement funds are restricted and will be used for law-enforcement training and supplies.
