The Town Council changed the current three member Police Commission to the maximum allowed five member board according to State Code. This has allowed the council to add two new members to assist with all of the work the Police Commission is going with the new Police Chief and Assistant Chief as they make changes to the way policing is done in Merrillville. Congratulations to Pete Dragojevic, Jr. and Willam Poling. We thank them for their willingness to give of their time and expertise to help make the Merrillville Police Department the best it can be.
