Crime was a lot less when we had one policeman.
He also ran the sewage treatment plant, changed burned out street lights, fixed the road, acted as dog catcher, and anything else the village fathers had him do.
As I remember, he was the only village employee.
His Police Car was a old blue pick up truck with a gumball light on top. His uniform was a police hat. His radio was a CB.
His dispatcher was his wife at their home on Wolf Road.
If he needed help, which was very, very, seldom, he could call on volunteers like myself who had as much knowledge about police matters as he did.
His name is / was Vernon Bormett.

This must be a great dream from the past. If in these current times we could have only 1 police officer for the whole town, Mokena would not be the great town it is for the times have changed.
