Summary
Police Chief Greg Geist told council that South Hill received the National Association of Town Watch's 2024 award for Outstanding Participation in America's Night Out Against Crime and ranked eighth nationally among towns with fewer than 5,000 residents.
Chief Greg Geist presented the South Hill Town Council with the National Association of Town Watch's 2024 National Award for Outstanding Participation in 'America's Night Out Against Crime' during the Jan. 13 meeting.
Chief Geist said the event, held in August 2024, earned South Hill an eighth-place ranking nationally among towns with populations under 5,000. The recognition was presented as a special recognition item on the agenda; the council approved the agenda earlier in the meeting to include that item.
The presentation was paired with the department’s monthly report, which recorded 347 activity incidents, 42 reportable criminal offenses, 865 calls for service and $144,328 in property recovered for December 2024. Council accepted the monthly reports as presented.
