October 2017 Statistics
October 2017 statistics compared to October 2016 statistics
show a 34 decrease in “Calls for Service” and a 33 percent increase in traffic

What are “Calls for Service?” This is ANY incident or
concern in which you may call us for when you are in need of assistance.
Traffic contacts had a 26 percent increase compared to the
month of October last year. We issued 159 citations and 819 warnings. The
numbers reflect our interest to educate and remind people of what their
responsibilities are on the roadway and to make our community a safer place to
drive, bike and walk.

the month of October 2016 stayed the same with no Homicides, no Sexual

Part One Crimes are essential quality of life crimes that
have adverse effect on the community. These crimes are the most serious
offenses against the community. These crimes are based on what “city crime
rates” reflect, based on population.

We contribute many of these low numbers regarding serious
crime to YOU, the community. Your aggressive style, awareness and willingness
to get involved, help us deter crime. When you see something suspicious, YOU call us, and we
