Police report: December activity totals, staffing coverage and county Family Justice Center planning
Summary
The police chief summarized December calls and activity, described staffing and coverage practices, and said local law enforcement is participating in planning for a Yamhill County Family Justice Center.
The police chief delivered the department’s December summary, highlighting patrol work, training and community events and reporting monthly statistics in the council packet.
The transcript lists the month’s activity as 206 calls, 7 case reports, 6 arrests, 35 municipal court citations, 122 warnings, 4 circuit court citations, 37 calls for service and 142 officer‑initiated contacts; staff directed the council to the full written report in the council packet for details.
Corporal Van Cleave and the school resource officer were noted for recent training and case work, including a juvenile case that was referred to the district attorney’s office. The chief said the department coordinates coverage internally and with the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office to ensure shifts are filled and that he sometimes works patrol shifts himself.
The chief said Yamhill County is pursuing a family justice center model that co‑locates multiple professional services in one facility, and that local law enforcement is part of the planning committee. He said the city is seeking a facility to house the center and that locations may be outside McMinnville. The chief invited councilors and community members to discuss the project offline if they want to be involved.
