All the necessary equipment needed for the North Judson Police Department K9 vehicle is almost completely installed.
Town Marshal Kelly Fisher told town council members Monday night, that the department has been utilizing the help of Matt Noonan to get the equipment installed.
As Officer Rico Simpson utilizes the SUV for training, they’ve been working around his class schedule to finish up the additions.
She said, “He’s been using his truck during the week to go down for schooling and then on the weekend we’ve been putting in. The kennels all done, the light bar is put on it, they call it “hot and pop”, the door popper and heat sensor is all complete.”
Fisher explained, “Rico’s actually been doing some work with popping the door and the dog gets out. He knows to go right to Rico”
In her report, Marshal Fisher also mentioned that renovations at the police department are coming along.
She said they’re about half way finished and so far, they’ve done some reorganizing and painting. The plan is to have a lobby area and the department intends to apply for a grant in order to get a drug drop-box.
She added that once everything is complete, she’d like to host an open house and have the council members come by in order to see the major difference the alterations make.
