Reflections on a Four Year Term of the Coroner
The coroner’s office has settled vast litigation by recording disputed facts and protecting wide interests. Minor cases rely on the coroner’s knowledge and tact to shield persons and institutions and restore neighborhood peace. The also-pertinent duty includes balancing truth and privacy in sensitive matters such as divorces, with the aim to serve public morality and private welfare.
Changes in Police Force Appointments and Transfers
The Board of Public Safety announced several police changes including Bray and Kurtz joining the detective force, Warren moving to desk duty, and Leet promoted to sergeant. Dugan is reduced, Walace resigns from the detective force, and six new patrolmen plus a new sergeant await Jan 15 assignment due to payroll limits.
