Summary

The police chief reported no major crimes pending in the town, officers will monitor school-bus stop-arm violations, and the town received a small opioid-settlement disbursement for training and supplies.

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.
