Jerald J. Judge, President
Dear Board Members.:
I request permission to send Detective Sgt. Gene Goodwin to the Kodak
Law Enforcement Photography Seminar.
This Seminar will be held at the Kodak facilities in Rochester, New York
from January 22-26, 1973.
Money has been budgeted for this purpose.
Sincerely,
/s/ Donald L. Strahan
Chief of Police
Mr. Benner moved to grant permission to send Detective Sgt. Gene Goodwin to
the Kodak Law Enforcement Photography Seminar in Rochester, New York from
January 22-26, 1973, seconded by Mr. Judge and on unanimous voice vote the
motion was carried.
Mr. Judge explained the delay in receiving the Beepers used by the Minutemen.
Due to a manufacture mistake, they were coded wrong and had to be completely
torn down and run through the assembly line. Minutemen are now using police
department beepers which caused communications problems because the message has
to be sent from the Fire Dispatcher_ to the Police Dispatcher, Police Dispatcher
then contacts the minutemen. Second difficulty is that the minutemen cannot
charge the Beepers themsleves with the new units each man will have his' own
charger.
There being no further business on motion duly made, seconded and passed, the
meeting was adjourned.
Jerald J. Judge, President
ATTEST: Margaret Mellen
Clerk of the Board
