Kincaid police logged 45 calls in month; officers urge residents to call Christian County dispatch
Summary
Officer Seath Hubbs said the department handled 45 calls between July 12 and Aug. 12, including traffic stops and assists. Hubbs advised residents to call Christian County dispatch for service because the village phone is not continuously monitored.
Officer Seath Hubbs told the board the department had 45 calls during the previous month (7/12–8/12), a total that includes traffic stops, assists and dispatched calls. Hubbs said the village phone is not staffed 24/7 and encouraged residents to call Christian County dispatch for an immediate response, explaining that the village line is better used for messages to be triaged by staff.
Trustee Nelson requested the police clarify how many of the 45 calls originated through county dispatch versus local call‑ins; Hubbs said the record includes both dispatched assists and officer‑initiated stops but did not provide a separate breakdown at the meeting. Trustees discussed whether the village phone should be updated to point callers directly to dispatch.
