Sheriff: October calls and misdemeanor investigations tick up; felony cases down
Summary
Lieutenant Josh Pappam told the Blue Lake Public Safety Commission that overall calls for service rose slightly in October while felony investigations declined and misdemeanor investigations increased; he urged commissioners to request the monthly sheriff's log in the meeting packet going forward.
The Blue Lake Public Safety Commission received its regular sheriff's briefing on Oct. statistics at its Nov. 3 meeting. Lieutenant Josh Pappam, who oversees patrol operations for the county, said the Greater Blue Lake area saw a modest rise in overall calls for service and a mixed pattern in investigations.
"Calls for service in October were up slightly from September, at 2 90 overall in September, it was 2 96 in October," Pappam said, adding that reports taken rose modestly and that felony investigations decreased from 10 to 5 while misdemeanor investigations rose to 23. He said there were no major assaults or homicides in October and described how some calls are routed or transferred to other agencies such as the California Highway Patrol.
