Council authorizes police‑academy sponsorship; contract length changed to three years

Following an executive session, the Bruceville‑Eddy City Council authorized the police chief to sponsor a cadet through the law enforcement academy and approved an amended sponsorship term.

Council motioned to authorize the Bruceville‑Eddy Police Department and Chief Michael Dorsey to sponsor a cadet through the academy; council instructed that the contract recommended to the chief be amended to a three‑year employment commitment rather than four years.
