Deputies to increase school walkthroughs to twice monthly, deputy chief says
Summary
Deputy Chief Josh Gessner reported deputies will conduct walkthroughs of assigned schools once every two weeks this school year to increase visibility and familiarity between students and officers.
Deputy Chief Josh Gessner told the Village Board on Sept. 2 that, with schools back in session, deputies assigned to local schools will conduct walkthroughs once every two weeks.
Gessner said the increased frequency is intended to make students more accustomed to seeing deputies and was described as an update to the board; the transcript records the remark as an informational public-safety update with no separate board action.
The meeting record does not list which specific schools are assigned to each deputy, whether the walkthroughs include formal safety assessments, or any timing beyond the biweekly frequency described at the meeting.
