Lebanon Police: 1,008 calls and 27 arrests reported since last meeting
Summary
Lebanon Police Chief reported 1,008 calls for service and summarized 27 arrests, training completions and one open hiring slot at the Board of Works meeting.
Lebanon Police Chief Morgan told the Lebanon Board of Public Works and Safety that the department responded to 1,008 calls for service since the last meeting and reported 27 arrests for a range of offenses.
Chief Morgan said the arrests included seven for operating while intoxicated, seven for outstanding warrants, three for driving while suspended, three for public intoxication, two for domestic battery, two for resisting law enforcement, one for criminal trespass, one for illegal consumption and one for possession of child pornography. He also reported that the department filed 26 crash reports and forwarded two gun permit applications to the state for final approval.
The chief outlined recent training for officers: instruction at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy on EVOC; a red-dot pistol transition course completed May 20 by a group of officers; and online Sellbrite training for digital-forensic extraction on mobile devices. He said a basic patrol-rifle class finished May 12 by several officers and that completion of that class is required before officers may carry a patrol rifle.
On staffing, Chief Morgan said the department conducted interviews from six candidates, and that hiring has been narrowed to three remaining candidates for a single open spot. The chief did not provide the names of candidates or a hiring timeline.
Board members asked follow-up questions about the vacancy during the meeting. No formal action or vote related to police staffing was recorded.
