Memorial Villages Police Department reports 1,876 calls in May; new officer to start July 7
Summary
Commander Baker told the council the Memorial Villages Police Department responded to 1,876 calls for service in Bunker Hill Village in May, purchased AEDs, filled a vacant officer spot (start date July 7), and continues CAD upgrades; FY2026 regional budget was approved by the three cities.
Commander Baker updated the City Council on Memorial Villages Police Department operations, noting 1,876 calls for service in Bunker Hill Village during May and that false alarms remain the top call type.
The department has expended about 38% of its budget year-to-date, is currently underbudget, and the FY2026 budget was approved by the three participating cities (Bunker Hill Village, Hunters Creek, and Piney Point). Commander Baker said new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were purchased under FY2025 Budget Amendment 2025.01, a conditional job offer has been extended for the vacant dispatcher position, and the vacant officer position will be filled with a new officer beginning July 7, at which point the department will be fully staffed.
Upgrades to the CAD system are ongoing; the system is now capturing response times but does not yet produce an aggregate response-time report. Commander Baker also reported the department hosted a Police Officer Memorial and Remembrance Service on May 12, 2025.
