In addition, Harrington wanted the town council to consider allowing up to six reserves officers instead of the current town policy of having four. The town council did not act on that request.
The town council however approved the purchase of printers and hardware for the printers for the town police vehicles. The total cost for the purchase is $2,610.83. Thise would allow the issue of tickets, verses using ticket books that town currently uses.
The town council approved the purchase of Maglocclen law enforcement training and resources for law enforcement in the amount of $400. This resource is valuable to the town marshal's office.
