The Van Buren County Sheriff, Fairfield Bay Chief of Police and Indian Rock Constable are holding an open forum, Wednesday, March 24, at the Indian Hills Country Club.
Constable Ingram Philips has invited Sheriff Scott Bradley for a multimedia presentation on County criminal activities. The Sheriff will also join Chief Kerry Brown and Constable Philips in fielding questions about local law enforcement policies, procedures and crime in general. City Mayor Tom Schueren will host the session.
“The public has a right and desire to know what is happening,” stated the Constable. “You observe law enforcement in your daily lives, hear rumors and fuzzy facts, have specific questions and are often simply curious. Many want to know who is leading the fight against crime and to get to know them as persons. I hope the forum will provide quality information and demonstrate the open availability of your law officers.”
The free session is being held in the Club’s large meeting room from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. Constable Philips is asking those who have questions: “Please write them in advance. Present them at the door or before the Question-Answer period. Anonymity will be respected.”
If possible, call 253-8989 for a forum seat (or to reserve a group’s table) by Monday, the 22nd. Food is not a part of the meeting however, Club Management is planning a “lunch special” following the event.
