DOVE Post Staff When the Harveys Lake advi- sory council to the mayor finishes its work, the borough police de- partment will have an entire new look and updated rules and pro- cedures. Formed by mayor Richard Boice to serve as liason between the residents, the mayor and the po- lice department, the advisory council consists of Jim Drury, Shirley Beck, Clarence Baker, David Schuler, Jennifer Savage, Dennis Hogan and Ailene Forster. The council's first change is the police officers’ uniforms, modeled by chief Lionel Bulford at the group's May 25 meeting. A navy blue hat with a gold- tone badge and narrow strip of braid (silver-tone for the patrol- men), light blue shirt with black strips on the shoulders and pock- ets, black tie, black belt and shoes and black pants replace the men's current gray shirt and black slacks. The group is also studying and rewriting the police department's procedure book, which covers every facet of the officers’ jobs. “The new departmental changes will give the chief more time and freedom to do adminis- trative and supervisory work," Boice said. “He'll also be able to go on the road whenever he wants to.” “The mayor has discussed his changes with the men,” Bulford said, optimistically. “From the “We're looking for representatives from all areas of the lake and summer residents.” Shirley Beck Harveys Lake advisory council way that they have been talking, I know that we have a good force here.” The group also plans to inves- tigate the feasability of setting up a neighborhood crime watch, according to Shirley Beck. " “We hope that more residents will attend our meetings,” Beck said. “We're looking for represen- tatives from all areas of the lake and summer residents.” “The council has started work on a very positive note,” Schuler said. “There haven't been any gripe sessions — we put our heads to- gether and brainstorm ideas and solutions which will best benefit the people.” “I'would like to study the park- ing situation and possibly desig- nate certain areas as parking on one side of the street only,” Baker said. The council is also considering adding two full-time policemen to the force, studying possible grants for new police equipment and finding solutions to juvenile prob- lems. The advisory council will meet again June 29 at 7:30 at the bor- ough building. 2 POST PHOTO/GRACE R.
