The Knox City Board of Works approved a request by the Knox City Police Department for two officers to purchase two duty weapons for their own use at a cost of $375 apiece.
The Knox City Council previously approved a request from Police Chief Clint Norem to allow the officers to buy their own service pistols in order for new guns to circulate into use by the department.
These are the last two guns to be purchased in this cycle. The Board of Works approved the request with a reminder that the officers re-register them in their own name.
