Residents urge board to resist police assistance to ICE; chief says state police likely to be asked
Summary
During public comment several residents urged the board to oppose the police department assisting ICE; Police Chief Oleinik said he did not believe his part‑time department would be asked to assist and that "mostly the state police would be requested."
Several residents used the Jan. 27 public-comment period to tell the board they oppose the police department assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The minutes summarize the comments as community concern over local police involvement with ICE.
Police Chief Oleinik responded during public comment, saying he did not expect his department to be asked to assist because it is part‑time and that "mostly the state police would be requested." The minutes do not show any formal board action in response; the item remained a public-comment issue rather than a board directive or policy change.
