South Jacksonville hires new patrol officer; chief notes only uniform and vest remain
Summary
The Village Board approved hiring Wesley McKinney as a police officer. Police Chief Eric Hansell told trustees the only outstanding items are a new pair of pants and a ballistic vest for the officer.
The Village of South Jacksonville voted to hire Wesley McKinney as a police officer during a March 20 special meeting.
President Richard Samples asked the board to approve McKinney's hire; Trustee J.W. Coleman moved the action and Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart seconded. Police Chief Eric Hansell told the board the only outstanding items for Officer McKinney were a new uniform pant and a ballistic vest.
The minutes record the motion as approved by roll call. The board did not specify when McKinney would start or whether village or department funds would cover the clothing and vest; Chief Hansell identified those as the remaining items the department must provide.
The clerk's office can confirm McKinney's start date and whether the vest will be purchased through department accounts or another funding source.
