February 2026 Barrackville Police Report

Throughout February, the Barrackville Police Department had 210 calls for service. Included in those is 16 school zone details, 47 traffic stops, and numerous other calls including patrols and school security checks during the day. The 47 traffic stops resulted in 21 citations being issued for various offenses, including 6 citations from school zone speeding stops, and 2 arrests.

The Department has also received numerous complaints, as have other agencies throughout Marion County, about the driving of Sand Box trucks. Barrackville Officers have conducted numerous traffic stops on the trucks and have observed a decrease in their speed on Pike Street throughout the day. We will continue to enforce the traffic laws and have a focus on types of vehicles that have become nuisance violators when we see violations. Another frequent complaint has been large trucks using engine or jake brakes. As of this time, there is not an ordinance prohibiting their use within Barrackville Town Limits, but it is something the Town and Department are looking into to possibly add one in the future. From what was reported by others at the Town Council Meeting, the Sand Box trucks will be operating for 2 more months.

Thank you to everyone for sharing your concerns with the Department. Being a small department, we can only see the area we are currently in while we are there. Without the community's feedback, we do not know what is happening that we can not see and I greatly appreciate any assistance or comments so that we can address the issues. Thank you all for the continued support of the Department and our Officers!

Reminder to please slow down in the school zone when the lights are flashing. Over the past few weeks, officers have stopped and cited numerous speeders during school zone hours. Officers will also continue to work traffic control during school zone as able.

The Barrackville Police Department would also like to thank the parents and community members who have stepped up to assist with traffic when we have been unable to.
