The Illion Police Department is adding another officer to the streets, and the station itself will closed intermittently from 7am to 7pm, during which time anyone in need of immediate police assistance can use the phone outside to ring the Herkimer County 911 Center.
Mayor Brian Lamica believes this is a positive change. Starting that "it's more important to have the officer out on the street, being able to answer the calls on the street."
