Jeannette police cars to have 'In God We Trust' decals

Jeannette police cars soon will be adorned with new decals that read “In God We Trust.”

City council unanimously approved the measure. Fejes Signs in Jeannette is working on a design.

“It is our country’s motto,” said Mayor Curtis Antoniak. “I’m very proud of our country.”

Antoniak came up with the idea after seeing such emblems on police cruisers in other area departments. Decals will be placed on five marked patrol units. The city had not gotten a cost estimate for the work.

“It’s going to be a rather small, round emblem,” said Michelle Langdon, city clerk. “We haven’t gotten a proof yet.”

The decals will be reflective and Antoniak said he will get to review the design before the items are made. He sees the additions as a way to make the city department a leader.

“I feel it’s appropriate,” Antoniak said. “Some people don’t, but I do.”
