ELTON - The police department here is in need of new vehicles, according to its chief.
Elton Police Department Chief Bruce Lemelle said at a Monday meeting that he wanted the town council to consider methods of purchasing new units for the police department due to how current ones are aging.
“These units are getting old, they’re from 2010,” he said. “I’ve got one from the sheriff’s department from 2003. Last month, I probably spent roughly $10,000 in vehicle repairs, and they’re starting to break down.”
