At Monday night’s North Judson Town Council meeting, Marshal Kelly Fisher told members that the night officers on the force recently received some new attachments for their service weapons.
According to Fisher, the officers were given flashlights that attach directly to their firearms. She mentioned that the lights were obtained as a safety measure
Fisher shared, “We ended up going with the TLR-1, it’s 800 lumens. It’s a tool that frees up the hand of the officer so we’re not holding a flashlight in one and a firearm in the other.”
Fisher said that both night officers have received the flashlights and Officer Jamie Conklin has been trained on how to use the new equipment.
She noted that the flashlight attachment will be especially helpful for K9 Handler Rico Simpson since he has the additional responsibility of holding the leash of his K9 partner Jimy.
