Public‑safety official reports 673 calls in August and steps to increase traffic enforcement
Summary
A public‑safety official told the council there were 673 calls for service in August, described arrests and traffic/pedestrian stops, and signaled stepped enforcement on bike and stop‑sign compliance.
A public‑safety official reported to the council that August was a busy month with multiple arrests and a high volume of calls.
The official said the department fielded 673 calls in August and made 495 deputy observations; arrests included unlicensed driving, battery, four public intoxication arrests, a burglary arrest and two domestic‑violence arrests. "We had a total of 673 calls," the official said, and added there were 34 traffic stops and 11 pedestrian stops.
The speaker emphasized increased attention to bike and scooter compliance — urging riders to wear helmets and stop at stop signs — and said deputies will make traffic stops when they have the opportunity. The official described August as among the busiest months in the three years they have served.
Council members asked a few light questions about staffing and public engagement; no formal action resulted from the report.
