It is a jaw dropping thought that the Borough of Etna has no RADAR devices.

Wikipedia has a wonderful, well cited article on RADAR:

"Radar was developed secretly for military use by several nations in the period before and during World War II. The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar

Would the Borough of Etna's Freedom of Information Officer, Secretary, Borough of Etna Manager, please check the equipment closet and check with the Police Department and check with the Fire Department to make certain that there are no radiofrequency type devices of any kind as part of their arsenal.

Please let me know, if further clarification is needed.
