PUNXSUTAWNEY â The research is continuing regarding the purchase and installation of a GPS system for Punxsutawney Borough Police vehicles and possibly some others.
The Grant County Sheriff's office in Arkansas has been using the Wireless Matrix GPS system that Punxsutawney Borough Council has been looking at for use here, said Tom Fedigan, Punxsutawney Borough Police chief, at Monday's Punxsutawney Borough Council meeting.
Last weekend, members of the Punxsutawney VFW Post 2076 and the Ladies Auxiliary participated in âBuddy Poppy Daysâ to raise funds to help support veterans.
Both organizations wanted to thank everyone who helped and who donated to their cause.
