In a unanimous decision on Tuesday evening, the Danville City Council gave the green light to two new initiatives aimed at strengthening the local police department’s community ties.

The first initiative establishes a collaborative partnership between the Danville Area Community College (DACC) and the police department.

Under this agreement, the police department will take an active role in college events and provide guidance to students pursuing careers in law enforcement. In return, students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by shadowing officers and utilizing the department’s training facilities.

This partnership is set to last for three years, marking a significant step in community engagement and educational collaboration.

The city council also approved a $515,500 purchase for body worn cameras, squad video cameras and more. The five-year plan will cost the city $65,000 the first year. In the second fiscal year, it’ll cost almost $190,000 and then each year after that it’ll cost the city about $65,000.

The city will receive 71 body worn cameras, 28 squad video cameras, Docking Stations, and unlimited cloud storage from Motorola Solutions.

Both resolutions were approved unanimously Tuesday night. You can read more details about both agreements online.
