In regards to the last post, there still seems to be some confusion regarding information about the Police Department.. there are several reasons as to why an officer would need to leave the village (and this is not an exhaustive list), such as :
to pick up or drop off court paperwork, case files, prosecutor paperwork, warrants, traffic citations, correspondence with the courts or other government agency, to transport prisoners to jail/court, to transport or es**rt suicidal subjects to a mental health emergency department, to interview victims of crimes or crashes who have been transported by EMS, to take required training and examinations for the state's law enforcement automated data system, to conduct criminal, traffic, or background investigations, to execute arrest warrants, to obtain arrest and search warrants, to assist other agencies as necessary, to meet with other law enforcement executives and county first responder executives to review, update, and create emergency response plans for mass casualty events, natural disasters, and other calamities, to attend training courses to keep certifications current and to obtain new skills, knowledge, and experiences.
Moreover the annual salary for a village of Ashley police Officer is less than $36k/year
If you would like to receive copies of the actual budget for the police department, you may contact the village fiscal officer.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and have a great New Year, from the Village of Ashley Police
