Police report: new cameras, 45 mph sign and plea to call dispatch amid dirt-bike complaints
Summary
Police Chief Don Whitlock told the commission the department replaced Raven mics with three Flock cameras and a Condor 360° camera near the school, plans a 45 mph sign from Cedar to the city limit, and urged residents to call dispatch after complaints about dirt bikes at night.
Police Chief Don Whitlock told the commission the department has removed Raven microphones and received three Flock cameras (two positioned on Main Street and one on Sebree) plus a Condor 360° camera near the school. He said the department will install a 45 mph sign from Cedar to the city limits and reminded residents that calling dispatch produces a faster response than contacting chiefs directly.
Commissioner Billy Swartz and Assistant Chief John Giles reported that multiple residents have complained about dirt bikes operating around town at night. Chief Whitlock urged residents to call dispatch when they encounter riders so officers can respond more quickly. No new ordinance or specific enforcement plan was adopted at the Sept. 3 meeting; the discussion recorded complaints and encouraged reporting to dispatch.
