  Aurora Town Court and remanded to the Erie County Holding Center.

Miscellaneous

  e  Lt. O’Hara returned to active duty on April 25,
  e  PO Pierce has successfully completed his field training program and is now
  on independent patrol.
  e  The return of Lt. O’Hara and release of PO Pierce puts the police department
  at full staff for the first time since August of 2025.
  e  The speed monitoring devices have been placed at various locations in the
  jurisdiction. A reminder that these devices record numbers of vehicles and
  the speeds at which vehicles are traveling. Data from reports has not
  indicated speed issues in areas where residents have made complaints. I do
  believe that perception is a factor in these complaints. One area of concern
  has been the Porterville-Pine Street curve. Officers have been running radar
  in this area with no issues with speeding. The curve is designed in a way
  (about 80 degrees) that makes it difficult to navigate at much more than 30
  mph, which is the speed limit.
