Dickinson County sheriff and Solomon fire chief report April activity and training plans
Summary
Sheriff Jerry Davis reported 54 calls in April totaling 188 hours; Fire Chief Randy Paden outlined April call types, training plans, and a new student recruit. Council received the reports with no votes required.
The council received public‑safety updates May 5 from Dickinson County Sheriff Jerry Davis and Solomon Fire Chief Randy Paden.
Sheriff Davis summarized April activity: 54 calls and 188 hours, including traffic stops, suspicious-activity reports, thefts, property-damage calls, juvenile complaints and one traffic accident. Chief Randy Paden reported on firefighting equipment updates, a new high-school student joining the department who is taking fire-science classes at Salina Tech, and his planned attendance at Scott level one technician training in Green Valley, Missouri on May 20–21. Fire personnel recorded 20 calls in April within the city (including five medical calls, one trash fire and five false alarms) plus other county responses; staff noted a resident’s medical-alert pendant caused multiple call-outs.
Both updates were informational and drew no formal council action beyond receipt of the reports.
