Nixa Police report 627 calls, 207 traffic stops, 13 arrests; hire two officers
Summary
Lieutenant Saner said the Nixa Police Department responded to 627 calls for service last week, made 13 arrests including two DWIs, logged four K-9 deployments and four crash investigations, and has hired two officers now in the field training program.
Lieutenant Saner with the Nixa Police Department gave a weekly briefing saying the department responded to 627 calls for service last week, conducted 207 traffic stops that led to four K-9 deployments, and investigated four motor vehicle collisions. He said the department took 48 police reports and made 13 arrests, including two DWI arrests, six drug arrests, six warrant arrests and three other arrests. The department also hired two officers who are in the field training officer (FTO) program.
"If you see Officer Townson and Officer Goodard out in the community, make sure you say hi to them," Lieutenant Saner said, adding the new officers would complete an in-house FTO program in a couple of months before working solo.
The report was presented as an informational weekly wrapup rather than a formal action item. No votes or formal directives were recorded in the transcript. The numbers above are those stated by Lieutenant Saner during the briefing.
The arrests the lieutenant listed were broken down as two DWI arrests, six drug arrests, six warrant arrests and three other types of arrests; the transcript did not provide further detail about the charges, locations, or the ages of those arrested. Lieutenant Saner noted the department had "over 207 traffic stops," which he tied to the four K-9 deployments; the transcript did not specify which stops produced the deployments or whether any evidence was seized.
Lieutenant Saner described the hiring and training status of the new officers as follows: they have been hired, entered the department's field training program, and are expected to complete the program in "a couple months" before being released to solo duty. No names beyond Officer Townson and Officer Goodard were given for the new hires, and the transcript did not specify start dates or the salary or funding source for the positions.
The briefing closed with Lieutenant Saner thanking listeners and noting the weekly report would return the following week. No additional background materials, policies, or ordinances were cited during the remarks.
