For Immediate Release:
On 4/9/2026, I was contacted by the Macon County Administrator, Tamara Wilcox. Tamara invited me to attend the monthly Macon County Board Meeting as a representative of the Maroa Police Department. I was only informed that "I was going to be very happy with the content of the meeting."

So, of course, I attended, and I am very excited and proud to inform the Maroa Community that the Howard G. Buffett Foundation has generously donated a brand new 2026 Chevrolet Police Tahoe to the Maroa Police Department! The Howard G. Buffett Foundation has also provided the Police Department with $25,000.00 to outfit the vehicle with emergency equipment. (Donations were also made to other local police departments to keep everyone in the loop.)
This amazingly generous donation was completely unexpected by all of the local police departments. Their thoughtful gift will benefit the department and the city as a whole for years to come.

We would like to publicly and wholeheartedly give a HUGE Thank You to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the members of the Macon County Board who assisted in this donation.
We will pick up the vehicle from Miles Chevrolet sometime next week and hope to have it out on patrol within the next 2-3 months. (It takes a while to order the equipment, have it shipped, and schedule the upfit of it all).

Thank you very much for your attention!

Respectfully,
Chief Fitzgerald
