December 2019 statistics compared to December 2018
statistics show a nine percent decrease in “Calls for Service” and a 67 percent
increase in traffic accidents.
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 nine percent increase compared to the
month of December last year. We issued 364 citations and 645 warnings (on some
contacts more than one warning or citation is issued.) These 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.
“Part One Crimes” for the month of December 2019 compared to
the month of December 2018 stayed the same with no Homicides, no Sexual
Assaults, and no Arson. We did have one Aggravated Assault in December 2019
compared to none in December of 2018. Thefts increased from seven (7) to eleven
(11.) We had no Motor Vehicle Thefts, and one Burglary (non-residential
construction theft) in December 2019.
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
appreciate it. We have your back, and we know you have ours.
