Brooklawn accepts $12,320 donation for police server and swears in new officer
Summary
At its regular meeting the Brooklawn Borough Council acknowledged a $12,320 donation from American Legion Post 72 to fund an upgraded police server and adopted Resolution 162 to appoint and swear in Logan Deodor as a full‑time police officer.
A written statement read at the Brooklawn Borough Council meeting thanked American Legion Post 72 and its representative, Mr. Howard, for a $12,320 donation to buy an upgraded server for the police department.
The statement said the new server will support secure data storage, improve processing speed for records and body‑worn camera systems, and strengthen cybersecurity and reliability for essential police operations. Mayor Grantstrom and other officials publicly thanked Mr. Howard and the American Legion for the contribution.
Council then moved to adopt Resolution 162 of 2025 to appoint Logan Deodor as a full‑time police officer. The motion received a second and a roll‑call vote recorded “yes” from Council member Clowery, Council member Holler, Council member McAdams and Council member Ostram; the motion carried. Mayor Grantstrom administered the oath, and Deodor was sworn in during the meeting.
The council did not provide further detail about long‑term maintenance costs for the upgraded server or the procurement vendor during public comment. The written acknowledgement submitted for the record described the server as a critical component of the department’s technology infrastructure and said the American Legion’s gift demonstrated "a profound commitment to public safety, community partnership, and the residents of Brooklawn."
