OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,
BE THE INCLUSION OF NEW SECTION 2-124 ENTITLED

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Common Council acknowledges that pursuant to Indiana Code Section
36-8-2-2, the city is permitted to establish, maintain, and operate a police

The Council also acknowledges that pursuant to Indiana Code Section
36-8-4-4 a city is required to provide all uniforms, clothing, arms and
equipment necessary for the police officers to perform their duties.
The Common Council believes that it would be appropriate for the City
to present a retiring police officer with twenty (20) or more years of
service to the City of South Bend, his or her service revolver formerly used
in the line of duty. The Council believes that this would be an appropriate
tribute for that officer's dedicated service to the City.

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, as follows:

property, the service revolver issued to that

issues which may arise concerning the award of a

Council Attorney
It is my understanding, based on research done by our Council
Attorney, that other communities within the State of Indiana have
a similar practice in effect for retiring police officers.
I believe that this ordinance is most appropriate and I look
forward to seeking your support of its passage.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
