Acting chief reports juvenile MOA and monthly patrol data; chief seeks recruitment outreach
Summary
Acting Chief Castillo described a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Juvenile Justice and presented May–July department statistics; he discussed recruitment efforts and patrol schedules and gave a non-emergency dispatch number.
Acting Chief Castillo told the council the Department of Juvenile Justice circulated a memorandum of agreement offering partnership services; the town would pay only if a juvenile is placed and the document lists a daily operational rate of $50 plus $125 for expenditure charges when the facility is used.
The chief provided monthly operational statistics: May recorded 187 calls for service, four arrests, six motor-vehicle accidents and 51 tickets/warnings; June had 205 calls, three arrests, three MVAs and 59 tickets/warnings; July showed 200 calls, four arrests, one MVA and 42 tickets/warnings. He said current patrol scheduling places officers (including himself and two others) on duty Thursday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and that the department seeks ways to recruit additional officers through job fairs and postings; he confirmed the non-emergency dispatch number is 843-248-1520.
Chief Castillo recommended the Town Manager and staff review the juvenile memorandum and bring it forward for council consideration as needed.
