Freeburg police to launch K-9 program in June; SRO contract sent to schools
Summary
Chief Mike Schutzenhofer told trustees the department's K-9 program is due to start at the end of June; Village Administrator Matt Trout has sent the SRO contract to both schools and the department logged 124 calls since the prior meeting.
At the Personnel/Police Committee report on June 2, Chief Mike Schutzenhofer — as reported by Trustee Elizabeth (Lisa) Meehling — said the K-9 program is scheduled to start at the end of June and that two officers will be able to cover shifts while he is out, which the committee said should reduce overtime. Village Administrator Matt Trout has sent the school resource officer (SRO) contract to both schools and is awaiting their responses.
Chief Schutzenhofer also summarized department activity, reporting 124 calls since the committee's last meeting. The minutes record the K-9 and SRO updates as committee business; no formal board action on those items was recorded at the June 2 meeting.
