St. Charles Community College's department of public safety teamed up with the City of Cottleville to help the college with its police car needs going forward. The city donated two used Cottleville police cars to the college police department, after purchasing two new vehicles, thanks to a new city ordinance.
“This is just one example of how well the City of Cottleville and St. Charles Community College work together to provide excellent service for the community,” said Bob Ronkoski, SCC chief of police and director of public safety.
According to the ordinance, “The Board of Aldermen finds and determines that donating the motor vehicles to the community college promotes the general welfare and good government of the City.”
“SCC helps the city in many ways, and we are just happy to show our gratitude in any small way we can,” said Jim Hennessey, Cottleville mayor. “We have a wonderful relationship between our two entities, and we consider SCC a valuable partner.”
