Summary of the April 23rd Town Hall Meeting. On Wednesday, April 23rd, the City Council hosted another quarterly Town Hall meeting.

City Manager Report – April 18, 2025
Come to Wednesday’s Town Hall meeting to see a demonstration of the City’s Anti-Pursuit Equipment. On Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at City Hall, the City Council will host its quarterly Town Hall meeting. The Normandy Park Police Department will start this meeting by demonstrating our anti-pursuit equipment. Some residents might ask, “What is anti-pursuit equipment?” In short, it’s a vehicle-mounted GPS Launcher that deploys a GPS tracking tag onto a suspect’s vehicle. Once the GPS tag sticks to the vehicle, it tracks it so that our Police Department can plan and coordinate an informed response while maintaining community and officer safety. We are excited to show off this equipment, which was funded 100% by a grant.
