AGENDA ITEM # 8.3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />Report Prepared by: Mike Davis, PLPD Chief <br /> <br />Date: April 1, 2024 <br /> <br />Subject: Officer Recognition <br /> <br />Report: On March 23, 2024, Officer Melin and Reserve Officer Clemmer <br />came across a vehicle that had a blown trailer tire. Officers spoke with the driver <br />who advised they did not need any assistance as they had a new tire. Officers <br />checked on the vehicle about an hour later and the driver and his wife were still <br />working on getting the rim off. Officer Melin was able to get the bearing spindle <br />and rim off the trailer. Officers left the scene with the rim and new tire and went to <br />Pequot Auto where Officer Melin was able to get the spindle pressed out with a <br />hydraulic press. Once that was done, he mounted the new tire on the rim and <br />returned to the scene where he and Reserve Officer Clemmer mounted the new tire <br />and rim on the trailer. Officer Melin went above and beyond his normal everyday <br />duties and was able to safely get the couple back on the road. <br /> <br /> <br />Council Action Requested: No council action requested. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
