Police chief cites rise in calls, requests new full‑time officer
Summary
Police Chief Lonnie Roloff reported annual calls rose from about 3,000 (2014–2022) to about 4,000 (2023–2025) and said that increase underpins a request to hire another full‑time officer.
Police Chief Lonnie Roloff told the council that the department has seen an increase in call volume and requested approval to add a full‑time officer.
Roloff said the department responded to approximately 3,000 calls per year from 2014 through 2022 and roughly 4,000 calls per year from 2023 through 2025, and framed that trend as the rationale for the staffing request.
The minutes record the verbal report and the chief’s request; no formal vote on the hiring request is recorded in the Jan. 5 minutes.
