Police chief: officers trained with rifles; department seeks animal-shelter redesign
Summary
Police Chief Canady said officers trained with rifles and will now carry them in patrol cars; the department is also exploring an animal-shelter redesign to handle higher numbers of aggressive-dog calls and thanked volunteer Harold Ross for service.
Police Chief Canady told the council that officers participated in rifle training during the day and that the department will now carry rifles in patrol vehicles to enhance on-duty capabilities. Chief Canady also said the department is considering redesigning the animal shelter to increase its capacity after an uptick in aggressive-dog calls.
Chief Canady publicly thanked volunteer Harold Ross for his contribution to code enforcement and department support. The chief also said public-works staff have performed vehicle maintenance in-house, saving the city money, and invited the public to have cake after the meeting.
The council did not vote on equipment or shelter funding during the session.
