Temple City law-enforcement report: Part I crimes down; deputies, volunteers and CSOs highlighted
Summary
Deputy Bowie told the council June saw 25 Part I crimes in Temple City and outlined arrests, volunteer patrols, CSO staffing and response-time averages; council asked how deputies are recognized and staff promised to provide more detail on operations.
Deputy Bowie presented the monthly law-enforcement summary to the council, reporting the Part I totals for June and outlining how the department is using dedicated deputies and volunteers to address crime.
"For the month of June, we had 1 robbery, 4 assaults, 6 residential burglary, 2 commercial, 5 grand thefts, 2 petty thefts, and 2 stolen vehicles — a total of 25 Part I crimes," Deputy Bowie said. He described volunteer-on-patrol duties (background check, training, residence requirement) and said the department deploys overtime-funded deputies dedicated to Temple City shifts and coordinates joint operations and canvassing with neighboring jurisdictions. Bowie said response-time averages were roughly 55.9 minutes for routine calls, about 10 minutes for priority calls and about 4 minutes for emergencies.
Council members thanked deputies and suggested better recognition for officers involved in notable arrests; staff agreed to find a way to acknowledge arresting deputies. City Manager Mary Anne and deputies also described CSO staff training and the plan to add a third CSO, with two CSOs scheduled for advanced collision-report training in September.
