Mission Statement
“The Oblong Police Department is dedicated to serving and protecting the community through proactive policing, community engagement, and upholding the highest standards of law enforcement. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where residents can live, work, and thrive.”
Item 1
The Oblong Public Works Department is constantly evaluating processes and procedures.
Projects that the Village cannot handle efficiently are contracted out to private businesses; however, other times department personnel can perform certain tasks at a lower cost than outside companies.
This balance produces the most efficient type of operation, thereby keeping costs at a minimum. In turn, this means fewer tax increases, and lower water and sewer rates for the citizens of Oblong.
The Public Works Department is working for you by ensuring quality living for Oblong and its surrounding community.
