[Adopted 12-4-1956 by L.L. No. 4-1956]
The Board of Trustees shall fix the amount of
the salary of each Village police officer and may, at its option,
determine that the Village shall pay all or part of the cost of the
uniforms and necessary equipment of its police officers and the plainclothes
of its detectives.
All fees collected or received by such officer
belong to the Village and he must account therefor to the Village,
except those fees received for the execution of all process, civil
or criminal, outside the corporate limits of the Village, and for
the execution of all civil process within the Village while not on
duty as a police officer. A Village policeman shall not receive any
present or reward for his services other than his fees or salary,
except by the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Every Village policeman shall keep a book in
which shall be entered all services performed by him which are a town
or county charge, and shall present claims therefor against the town
or county to which chargeable. All orders or warrants for such claims,
except those hereinabove specified, shall be made payable to the Village
Treasurer, who shall collect the amount thereof.
