Claycomo police to sell damaged car; two new patrol vehicles arriving in July
Summary
Police Chief Coonce told the Board of Trustees the department will sell a used Charger with a failed engine and expects two new patrol cars to be on the road within three weeks; new police trucks are scheduled to be built in early July and the department has one vacancy.
Police Chief Coonce reported that a used black Charger in the department fleet has a failed engine and will be sold rather than repaired.
Chief Coonce said the first new patrol car "is expected to be on the road within one week; second should follow 2-3 weeks later," and that new police trucks are scheduled to be built around the first week of July. He also informed the board the department currently has an open position following a recent departure.
The board did not take a formal vote on staffing or vehicle purchases during the meeting. The update was given as part of the new‑business reports to keep trustees and residents informed of timing for equipment turnover and a personnel vacancy in the department.
The next steps for the department are to place the damaged Charger for sale and to complete staffing recruitment; Chief Coonce did not specify the hiring timeline or exact procurement contract details for the incoming vehicles.
