Toulon council focuses on police department
Print E-mail
toulonIn a lengthy discussion concerning Toulon’s police department, a number of issues boiled to the surface.  The talks began with Mayor Rick Collins stating, “there is an undercurrent to discredit Chief (Doug) Richards.”
Councilperson Misty Turnbull spoke to that statement saying, “It concerns me that when I talk with people, no one seems to know when he works.”
In response Collins replied, “I’m not happy with any of it.”  Presumably this meant the police department and the alleged discrediting of Richards.  Collins continued, “People don’t like to see their name trashed in the paper.”
Collins added, “We (the council) need to work together – other people are calling the game.  We solve the problem (concerning the police department) by working together.”  At this point, the subject was brought up that rumors have circulated around Toulon claiming the police officers have been seen playing video games at the police station.
