Police Chief reported October department activity and announced a scheduled accreditation review in Harrisburg on Jan. 22, 2026. The chief encouraged council members to attend the accreditation hearing and credited staff (including Lieutenant Burns) for a successful on-site assessment.

The chief said he will request council advertise two ordinance amendments (Ordinance 285-32 to alter special‑permit parking hours and Ordinance 285-30 to adjust no‑parking on the south side of Elder Street) and will ask the governing body to suspend parking meters from Nov. 27 to Jan. 3 and to lift overnight-parking restrictions on specified blocks for a holiday period.

"01/22/2026 will be going in front of the accreditation board in Harrisburg," the chief said, and invited council to attend. He also outlined community engagement events (Faith in Blue, trunk-or-treat, a food drive) and said accreditation could improve insurance rates and grant opportunities.

The chief provided October activity totals (1,318 calls for service, 9 criminal arrests, 105 traffic tickets and 1,011 parking tickets) and asked for council support when he brings the advertising requests and temporary suspensions forward.
