Officer Brooks of the Nixa Police Department delivered a weekly public-safety update July 1 reporting traffic crashes, police reports and arrests, and announcing a community blood drive and a department recruiting webpage.
Brooks said the department recorded crashes, reports and arrests during the week and announced a blood drive scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the fire training center in Nixa. He also said the department is hiring and directed interested applicants to join nixapd.com.
The update included specific counts. In the recording Brooks said, "we had 6 15 calls for service. We had 2 40 traffic stops." The transcript presents those figures with spacing that makes their precise values unclear; the recording itself does not clarify whether those are typos or intended numerals.
Brooks reported four car crashes — "3 of them non injury and 1 of them injury" — and said officers "took 39 reports and made 8 arrests." He then stated, verbatim, "Of those 8, we had 3 warrants, 5 miscellaneous, 2 felony arrests, and 6 misdemeanor arrests." Those subcounts as stated in the recording are internally inconsistent with the total of eight arrests.
The community event Brooks announced is a blood drive organized by the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks under the name "Boots, Badges and Bandages" at the Nixa fire training center on Tuesday, July 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Brooks said, "Let's beat Ozark.").
On recruitment, Brooks said, "We are hiring police officers. If you wanna apply, please go to join nixapd.com." He closed by saying the weekly wrap-up will return next week.

Where counts are reported in the recording, this article reproduces them exactly and notes contradictions when they appear in the same comment.
