Jim Canfield, presenting the departments monthly highlights, told commissioners the department responded to 2,683 calls for service in June, "up, just over 9%." He said the department conducted 232 park walk-and-talks and 351 extra patrols, "which is up drastically, 154%." Canfield reported 11 community policing events and 415 criminal offenses investigated, with 278 cleared by arrest and 153 physical-custody arrests. He said 38 people were taken into custody for intoxication, 28 domestic disturbance calls were handled, 100 other disturbances were recorded, nine suicidal subjects were responded to and nine alleged restraining-order violations were investigated. Canfield also said victim-services volunteers donated eight hours in June.
Chief Canfield summarized criminal-investigative-unit activity, saying investigators were assigned 38 initial cases, performed nine follow-ups and made one felony arrest. The unit "initiated two felony charges, one misdemeanor arrest, six search warrants," and cleared two cases exceptionally, the chief said. He reported 18 offender registrations, one computer/cyber tip investigation, five cell-phone extractions, five background investigations and five drug-intel reports; investigatory staff also covered 24 hours of patrol shifts.
On traffic, Steve Canfield said the department issued 243 parking tickets in June, responded to 64 motor-vehicle accidents (22 with injury) and recorded two fatal motor-vehicle crashes, both involving motorcycles during motorcycle week. He reported 687 motor-vehicle stops, 120 motor-vehicle summonses and 533 written warnings.
The reports were presented as informational updates to commissioners; no formal votes or policy changes were made on the statistics. Commissioners asked no follow-up questions recorded in the transcript.
The statistics were presented during the departments monthly activity item and were followed by separate briefing items on budget, facilities and operations.
