Village of Flower Hill board moves to hold public meeting on private security patrol

The Village of Flower Hill’s Board of Trustees moved to hold a duly noticed public hearing for when they vote on whether to modify or outright terminate their current arrangement with a private security service, debating the ethics of how the vote should occur.

The village implemented a security service to patrol streets from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. in early 2024, following a rise in crime at the end of 2023. Now, over a year after that decision and several board meetings, the board is one step closer to deciding the uncertain future of the security service.
