Markesan extends police on‑call radius to 15 miles, continues recruitment for fourth officer
Summary
The Common Council approved continuing the job posting for a fourth police officer and changed the department's required on‑call radius from 3 miles to 15 miles, both measures passing unanimously.
The council on Feb. 10 authorized continued advertisement for the fourth police officer opening until the position is filled (motion Thiem/Lager). Separately, council voted to change the Police Department's required on‑call radius from 3 miles to 15 miles (motion Triemstra/Kazda). Both motions carried 6-0.
Council did not record any dissent and provided no additional conditions in the minutes; human resources and police department staff will oversee recruitment and update on‑call requirements in department policy and scheduling.
