Freeburg approves K-9 program; SRO contracts sent to schools for review
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of a new police K-9 and training for $17,400 and placed school resource officer contracts in packets for review before sending to local schools; Chief Schutzenhofer reported 129 calls since the last committee meeting.
The Village Board approved Project Request #25-04: purchase of a new police K-9 and training from Shallow Creek, Inc. for $17,400.00. Trustee Elizabeth (Lisa) Meehling moved the item and Trustee James (Mike) Blaies seconded; the minutes record the roll-call vote as six ayes and the motion carried.
Trustee Meehling also told trustees the SRO contracts are in board packets and that Village Administrator Matt Trout will send the contracts to the schools after trustees review them; the minutes summarize that both contracts are "basically the same except he did clarify a few items." Chief Mike Schutzenhofer provided a department update, summarizing 129 calls since the last committee meeting.
The minutes do not include the K-9's deployment timeline, K-9 handler assignment details, or SRO contract terms; staff follow-up is required to confirm operational details.
