Reynoldsville Borough Council discussed matter concerning a local police department at Tuesday’s meeting.
A resident asked council when it planned to take action on restoring the police department. While acknowledging the state police presence, she expressed her concern with growing traffic in her area as well as suspicious activity on her street.
Council President William Cebulskie suggested residents call the State Police or the Jefferson County Drug Task Force. Cebulskie said the investigation into the regionalization of a local police force was still underway and that he planned to meet with representatives from Punxsutawney Borough next week to discuss the issue.
Recently, Cebulskie had spoken to the Borough of Sykesville about combining the departments. Sykesville council president Michele Yamrick and Mayor Gail Cunnigham said that, while understanding what Reynoldsville was going through, Sykesville was not interested in a regional police force.
