When: Manheim Township commissioners virtual meeting, April 12.
What happened: The board voted unanimously in favor of urging the Pennsylvania General Assembly to authorize the local use of radar, previously illegal in the state.

Police report: Rudzinski said the department recently ordered body cameras for all Manheim Township Police Officers at a cost of $140,000; half of the cost is covered by a grant. He said the cameras will be downloaded at the end of the day, with access for 90 days.
