Sheriff presents six-month activity report: overall offenses trending down but motor-vehicle thefts up
Summary
Sheriff Holloway presented a six-month comparison of 2026 vs. 2025: group A offenses roughly flat, many categories trending down, but motor-vehicle thefts and some arrest-warrant activity rose; sheriff tied some trends to staffing and resource allocation.
The sheriff presented a 6-month comparison report showing nuanced trends across categories of offenses and agency activity.
Sheriff Holloway said Group A offenses were roughly steady (an average near 18 per month) while combined totals for group A and B offenses showed a downward trend year-to-date. Holloway highlighted several category trends: assaults and thefts trending down, motor-vehicle thefts up (3 in 2025 to 6 so far in 2026), and drug arrests declining (253 in 2025 vs. 80 in the first half of 2026). Holloway attributed some decreases to staffing pressures that reduced proactive enforcement time and noted that certain response types (e.g., mental-health transports) are time-consuming and influenced by available resources.
Commissioners thanked Holloway for the detailed report and discussed the value of showing multi-year trends in future reports. Holloway emphasized the workload his personnel handle and called attention to staffing vacancies that affect response and proactive capacity.
