CALCUTTA Batman had Robin, and St. Clair Township Police Chief Brian McKenzie had his own sidekick during township trustees’ regular meeting Monday afternoon.
McKenzie and Kelsey Hedrick, who serves as president of the department’s Fraternal Order of Police lodge, spoke to trustees about a recent crime prevention seminar they attended with patrolman James Cannon at the end of April that was hosted by the state. The trio learned how to handle active killer situations and assess businesses and mass gathering places for threat risk.
