EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

One of the Evansville Police Department's new 2013 Dodge Charger will be on display at Tuesday's Traveling City Hall meeting at Northeast Park Baptist Church, 1215 N. Boeke Rd., from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The police department is adding several new vehicles to replace its aging fleet. The cars will be equipped with the tools officers need to perform their duties in the most efficient manner, including laptop computers to allow officers to complete reports from their cars instead of returning to the office. 

Traveling City Hall is an opportunity for residents to meet with various city department heads to ask questions or simply discuss the status of our community. Among those attending tonight's meeting will be Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin, Transportation and Services Director Todd Robertson and Joe Ballard from the Solid Waste District.

Traveling City Hall meetings are usually held on the last Wednesday of each month at different locations in neighborhoods throughout the city from 5:30 to 7 p.m. All residents are invited to attend any session.

The next Traveling City Hall meetings will be held on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at Greater St. James Missionary Baptist Church, 465 S. Elliott St. No meeting is scheduled in December.
