Village of Enon approves 2022 dispatch agreement; police chief details cruiser and camera plans
Summary
At its Jan. 4 meeting the Village of Enon Council unanimously approved a 2022 dispatch agreement and heard a police update that a new cruiser is due Jan. 10 and that outfitting three cars with in‑car cameras would cost about $31,000; Speedway donations are funding body cameras.
The Village of Enon Council unanimously approved a 2022 dispatch agreement during its regular meeting on Jan. 4, 2022, and heard a Police Department update on new equipment and body cameras.
Chief Holler told the council the cruiser build date is Jan. 10 and the department hopes “to have it striped and equipped in February and on the road by March 1.” He said Speedway donations are being used to purchase body cameras and estimated that adding in‑car camera systems to three cruisers would cost about $31,000.
The dispatch system went live Jan. 4, 2022, the chief said. He reported the Village of Enon (VOE) fees for the service are $2,500 (to be paid twice in 2022) and that those 2022 fees will be reimbursed. Council President Rick Hanna moved to approve the 2022 Dispatch Agreement; Paul Avery seconded. The motion carried with the five present council members voting yes: Rick Hanna, Paul Avery, David Babcock, Ben Beair and Jeremy Whitacre.
The council’s approval will allow the village to formalize its participation in the live dispatch service. No amendment or funding authorization beyond the noted service fees was recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify the reimbursement source or timing for the VOE fees beyond the statement that 2022 fees will be reimbursed.
Chief Holler also summarized vehicle timing and equipment plans. His timeline for the new cruiser — built Jan. 10, striped and equipped in February, on the road by March 1 — was presented as an operational target rather than a formally adopted deadline. The chief said Speedway donations are being applied to body‑worn camera purchases but added that the cost to equip cruisers with in‑car cameras is approximately $31,000 for three vehicles.
The council adjourned at 6:54 p.m.
