Police chief updates commission on Flock camera use and possible K-9 addition

President Neitzel presided over the City of Horicon Police & Fire Commission meeting on Sept. 9, 2026, where Police Chief Berken briefed commissioners on department technology and staffing prospects. Berken described the department's current use of Flock camera systems and the agency's policy that governs them and said adding a K-9 to the force appears likely in the future.

The commission did not take formal action on either the camera policy or a K-9 program during the meeting. Chief Berken's update was presented as an informational briefing; no motions or votes were recorded on those topics. The next regular commission meeting was scheduled for Oct. 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Public Safety Building.
