Stone Park director reports 40% drop in misdemeanor calls; murder case leads to first‑degree sentencing; lateral interviews scheduled
Summary
Director of Public Safety Chris Pavini told trustees that misdemeanor calls were down about 40% over the prior year and state tickets decreased; he also updated trustees on a four‑month homicide investigation that resulted in a first‑degree murder sentence. Lateral police interviews were scheduled for July 13.
At the July 9 committee meeting, Director of Public Safety Chris Pavini presented the police department’s six‑month activity report covering Jan. 1 through June 30, 2024. Pavini said there has been about a 40% drop in misdemeanor calls compared with the same period last year and that state tickets have also decreased.
Pavini updated the board on an ongoing case concerning an incident at 1606 N. 39th Ave: he commended Commander Sarabia and Officer Chamorro for their investigation, which the minutes say led to a first‑degree murder sentencing. The minutes attribute the investigative work to those officers but do not provide additional case details.
On personnel, Nancy Garcia reported that the Fire & Police Commissioner was excused and that emails were sent July 8 to four lateral‑hiring candidates; three had responded and interviews were scheduled for Saturday, July 13 at 10:00 AM at Stone Park Village Hall.
The minutes record these administrative and operational updates but include no further discussion, community comment, or formal votes related to the report. The board did not record additional directives in the July 9 minutes.
