Lombard police asked for two tools to help officers handle car pursuits more safely. One would let officers stop some vehicles from fleeing by using push bumpers, and the other would let police tag and track a suspect’s vehicle after ending a pursuit. The committee voted to recommend both purchases to the Board of Trustees, with one dissenting vote against the GPS tagging equipment. The meeting also included updates on fire department staffing and training, a new blue envelope program for people on the autism spectrum, and enforcement issues involving e-bikes and electric motorcycles.
