NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) _ Lincoln County commissioners have approved a request from the village of Brady to continue full police services. The services were to end March 31. The commissioners voted Monday to reinstate the policing agreement. Without the agreement, the sheriff had said, deputies would respond to violations only of state law, not local ordinances. Brady officials had said they needed extra money to replace the village's sewage lagoon system. Village clerk Pam Diehl said Tuesday that Brady held a public meeting about the police services, and residents made it clear they wanted to keep the full range. She says the sewage system project could take up to four years, so the village has time to arrange financing. About 380 people live in Brady.
