The latest bimonthly report is in from Stanley Police Chief Lance Weiland, containing much of interest.
Among the items in Weiland’s report are testing of a speed trailer for the digital speed sign, bulk item pickup, overnight parking restrictions, and preliminary 2026 police budget.
As for bulk item pickup, Weiland related that, “I have been informed that bulk item pick-up day in the city will be on Friday, Oct. 17.”
As for the speed trailer, Weiland went into more detail.
“The speed trailer with the digital speed sign was tested on Tuesday on South Broadway Street in front of City Hall,” he wrote the council. “The sign collects 15 different data points and allows us to run reports on the information it collects. The other two digital speed signs that were recently purchased have been activated and will be installed by the department of public works in the days to come. One of the signs will be situated along the south side of East Maple Street between South Broadway Street and South Franklin Street, and the second will be situated on the east shoulder of North Franklin Street in the 500-600 block. These signed can be moved to so if we find a greater need elsewhere down the road that can be done.”
As for winter parking restrictions, meanwhile, they arrive Nov. 15.
“Overnight street parking restrictions will go into effect Nov. 15 in both the City of Stanley and Village of Boyd,” Weiland wrote. “If we have not received snow by that time, that will be stretched out accordingly to accommodate on street parking while the weather allows for such. This is the same procedure we have used for years.”
Weiland additionally shared on submitting the preliminary 2026 police budget, as well as upcoming officer training.
“I have submitted the preliminary 2026 police budget as requested,” he wrote. “There is nothing major to note in this proposal as it relates to this budget versus that of previous years.”
Weiland closed out his report with officer training.
“I have submitted a request for two upcoming training courses for Officer Andrew Straszkowski,” he wrote. “The courses are on consecutive days over a four-day period and pertain to investigations and crime scene processing. I believe this training will be very beneficial to our department and Officer Straszkowski and will count toward his annual 24 hours of continued education. Each year, each officer is required to obtain a minimum of 24 hours of continual education between July 1 and June 30 each year to maintain their certification.”
