Wood Village police report: traffic enforcement detail, few serious assaults in July–August
Summary
Chief Stewart told the council there were two assault calls in July and two in August, three burglaries, two stolen vehicles (one recovered), and 23 traffic accidents across July–August; officers ran a traffic-safety detail on 238th that yielded 24 stops/warnings.
Chief Stewart delivered the July–August public-safety report, telling the council that the department handled two assault calls in July and two in August (lower than an average of six in the same period last year) and three burglaries compared with an average of two.
"Traffic accidents...we had 23 over the July, August time frame," Chief Stewart said, adding that a contracted traffic-safety detail on the 238th corridor in August produced 24 stops and warnings and that staff will plan future targeted operations depending on staffing and resources. Chief Stewart also noted a recovered stolen vehicle and a multi-jurisdictional investigation that led to an arrest.
Chief Stewart mentioned community-outreach items including a holiday toy drive in November and early discussions about restarting a community academy for residents, with staffing as a primary constraint.
Councilors thanked the chief for the update and discussed coordinating truck-inspection details with the sheriff's office to address complaints about heavy-truck 'Jake brake' noise on 238th.
