North Judson Town Marshal Kelly Fisher gave the Town Council some updates about various pieces of equipment when members met last Monday.

She explained, “The radios, the two new ones that we got, we got those programmed, got the licensing all squared away. The red-dots and attack lights, we’re using them now. We just got qualified with them. Everything’s put together and working well.”

Marshal Fisher reminded members that these upgrades came at no cost to the Town.

She noted, “The radios and the red-dots didn’t cost the Town any money. We go those through donations.”

The red-dot sights were purchased with a $2,300 VFW contribution for gun upgrades that was received back in March.

During a Council meeting in August, Marshal Fisher told members that she found some used radios for sale that were in good, working condition for $825 apiece. She emphasized that price was significantly less expensive than some other options, as newer models can sometimes run as high as $4,500.

At that time, she mentioned that the cost would be covered through two recent donations that were made to the NJPD.
