On December 20th a petition was presented to Council with 434 names
signed by residents that they would like to have 24 hour protection,
policemen reside in the Village and not to have unlisted telephone
numbers. Mayor Brown appointed the Council to act on this petition
on January 17th.
The reason most residents signed the petition was because they wanted
24 hour protection, and most residents would like to have the police
live in the Village. Residents wanted to be able to reach the police
at home if necessary. Mr, Hurt said Mr. Joe Strong has volunteered to
work a shift to insure 24 hour protection. The three recommendations
were:
1. The Police Chief come up with some specifice procedures
for the Police Department.
2. Police Officers be on call to the citizens within a
reasonable amount of time, even if it means providing
home phone numbers.
3. The Village furnish 24 hour protection.
The most efficient way for contacting the Police Department is the
way it is set up at present; through the Casselberry Dispatch.
