Summary

At the Jan. 14 meeting commissioners heard December statistics: 2,973 calls for service, fewer case reports than November, 19 shots-fired calls, and increases in traffic stops and citations tied in part to enforcement efforts.

Commission staff presented operational statistics for December 2025 at the Police Civil Service Commission meeting on Jan. 14.

The department reported 2,973 calls for service in December, 252 fewer than November. Case reports totaled 238, down by 149 from the prior month.

The presenter characterized December as a successful month overall for holiday patrol operations, with retail-assist and parking enforcement noted. No formal policy changes or budget actions were recorded during the presentation.
