Summary
The council unanimously approved hiring Tyler Skopec as a seasonal police officer (approx. 30 hrs/week) to train with Sgt. Brewster until he attends the academy, after which he will become full-time.
Police Chief Ryan Layman reported 38 calls in November, one warrant arrest and one traffic accident, and announced departmental personnel changes at the Dec. 12 council meeting.
Chief Layman introduced Tyler Skopec as a prospective new officer and proposed hiring him immediately as a seasonal employee working approximately 30 hours per week to train with Officer Brewster (Creo) until he starts at the police academy at the end of March.
