Craig Beach police chief assesses department’s future

Craig Beach police chief assesses department’s future

CRAIG BEACH — The police department here is making progress and moving in positive directions, but it still needs the help of village officials and the community, the chief says.

Chief Jason Brown said progress in his department includes an online and more enhanced records management system.

Also, about six months ago, the four-member department received a free Crown Victoria and lighting for the vehicle, bringing to two the number of cruisers in the village, he noted.

“I’m happy with the direction we’re going, and I feel the community’s support, but I’m not content with where we are now,” Brown said, adding that he‘s written to a couple of police departments to see if Craig Beach can receive additional reserve officers from them.
