Oak Ridge police outline July 4 patrols, staffing and training updates
Summary
Chief Bill Weatherly told the council the department will increase patrols for the July 4th holiday (the 250th anniversary) to keep citizens safe, noted new TCOLE requirements and that Captain Clell Murray will reduce to working once per month after July 20, and said speeds have been decreasing.
Chief Bill Weatherly updated the council on police plans and personnel scheduling ahead of Independence Day. He noted that "4th of July is the 250th anniversary of the country, will be out and about to keep citizens safe" and said the department will be active during holiday events.
Weatherly also asked City Administrator Karen Stacey to order a bulletin board related to training compliance because "TCOLE has a lot of new requirements," and the minutes record that after July 20 Captain Clell Murray will work once per month. The chief reported that speeds have been coming down on violations; no formal council action was recorded on these items in the minutes.
