Police report: calls for service rose slightly; officers completed tactical and impairment‑recognition training
Summary
The department reported 197 calls in February and 214 in March, completed injury-extraction and impairment recognition trainings, and continues to pursue an ODOT grant to support equipment and training.
An agency representative presented the police department’s monthly activity report and training updates to council.
"February was 197 calls of service. March was 214," the presenter reported, noting a modest month-to-month increase in calls. The department completed an officer injury extraction training with the Saint Helens Police Department and a one-day "green lab" training focused on recognizing impairment from marijuana use.
The department also said it is pursuing an ODOT grant to help with equipment and training needs. Council thanked the department for the updates and had no immediate directive beyond continued grant coordination.
