Just to inform the public, we feel you should know that we have received information that the police cars, when pulling people over, turn off their lights which also turns off the cameras. We feel the cameras should be rolling at all times to not only protect the officer but to protect the citizens as well. Therefore, we would like to suggest that if you see someone pulled over on the side of the road and this is the case or a car being towed while police lights are still not flashing, please give city hall a call at (636) 677-7727. When calling, ask for the city administrator, Mr. Seihie. If you are a citizen of Byrnes Mill, he can also give you the number of your alderman. The more calls they get, the more likely they are to finally wake up and realize that there is a problem.
