Station to Remain Manned 24/7
The Bradford City Police Station will remain manned 24/7.
Bradford City Council voted 3-2 during its meeting Tuesday night to keep an officer working the desk at the Kennedy Street station instead of transferring dispatch duties to the McKean County 911 Center in Smethport.
Following the meeting Police Officer Chris Lucco told WESB and The HERO he wanted to thank the members of council who voted to keep the station manned with a uniformed officer 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
He says he thinks they took into consideration "what the taxpayers and the community wanted in the city for the public safety."
Mayor Tom Riel and Councilman Rick Benton voted to move the dispatch duties to Smethport. Councilmen Ross Neidich, Bob Onuffer and Bob Tingley voted to keep it the way it is.
