Road closure announced
GREENSBURG – The Decatur County Commissioners on Monday agreed to close a portion of CR 250 W between W. Base Road and Vandalia Road from May 29 through June 9. Sheriff's deputies from Decatur County and surrounding counties plan to use the stretch of road in question as an Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC), with deputies maneuvering their vehicles in simulated emergency and often life-threatening high-speed chase scenarios. Decatur County Sheriff Bill Meyerrose told the commissioners he sent letters to those persons who regularly use the road, alerting them of the closure, and has heard no objections. The road will be set up with safety cones representing different driving hazards in daylight and nighttime conditions. Deputies will use normally scheduled working hours to become certified on the course. EMS and the Greensburg Police Department take advantage of the closure as well. Instead of driving to the nearest course at the Indiana Police Academy in Plainfield, training can be done locally, saving expenditures of vehicle fuel and overtime. Meyerrose noted the advantages of setting up a local training area, which will be closed night and day to allow trainees experience in day and night scenarios.

GPD officers recognized at city meeting
GREENSBURG – The Greensburg Police Department recognized two of its own Tuesday evening during the Greensburg Board of Works meeting at City Hall. Officer Jacob Mays was promoted to the rank of sergeant and Allison Reismiller received the Meritorious Service Award. Assistant Chief Derek Fasnacht made the presentations. Officer Mays has been with the GPD for 10 years and served as a K9 handler for 5 years. He's been a member of the Tactical Response Team since 2019. Mays is a field trainer and has responded to 6,322 calls for service. 'He displays countless acts of selflessness and dedication to his craft and continues to work alongside his peers without hesitation or reservation,' Fasnacht said. Reismiller started with the GPD in 2023 and was assigned to the Criminal Investigations Unit in 2024. In her time spent in the investigations unit, Reismiller was tasked with multiple assignments that were outside her normal scale of duties at the GPD. She researched and worked through different tasks, even successfully closing one of the higher profile cases in 2024. 'Resimiller's diligence and dedication to this case will bring justice to numerous victims and families in multiple cities' Fasnacht said while presenting her a framed document and shaking her hand.
