The letter reports to be from the National Police Association, and it seeks donations starting at $15. Hedrick said that while the National Police Association is a real thing, the organization did not send out letters locally soliciting money. In other business, the commission: \u2022 Accepted the resignation of Wayne Bird as a patrolman in the Corbin Police Department effective June 27. Hedrick noted that Bird has accepted a position as an investigator for the commonwealth attorney\u2019s office. The city commission authorized advertising for a certified police officer to replace Bird and for the dispatcher position for the police department. \u2022 Received an update from Corbin Fire Chief Barry McDonald, who noted that his firefighters would be going through hazardous materials recertification this week."}
