April 2, 2026 Town of Schererville Board of Safety Study Session and Meeting

The Town of Schererville Board of Safety held a study session and meeting on April 2, 2026, focusing primarily on police department operational matters and ordinance updates related to towing services. The board discussed and recommended a new tow service provider agreement to the town council, which sets standards for tow firms including liability insurance, fee transparency, and business hours for vehicle retrieval. The agreement still required finalization of specific details such as business hours (proposed as 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday) and the bond amount, with a recommendation to increase the bond from $5,000 to $10,000 to better protect the town. Additionally, the board approved suspending the current police eligibility list and initiating an emergency hire process to address recent officer resignations and retirements, ensuring adequate staffing levels. Both recommendations were approved by roll call vote to move forward with council review and implementation.
