Duncanville PD is spotlighting Detective David Moon's impressive 30-year career milestone, as Interim Chief Matt Stogner and Assistant Chief Chris Freis gave a pat on the back to the Duncanville ISD Police for National School Resource Officer Day.

On the coin-counting side, Fiscal Services crunched some sizable numbers, booting out 39 EFT payments worth north of $400k, and 47 checks totaling up to just under $72k.
