Chief reports 1,031 blotter reports for April; enforcement focus on Edgemere Avenue speed
Summary
Police Chief Adam Iron reported April activity including 1,031 blotter reports, 291 traffic stops and targeted enforcement on Edgemere Avenue; no use-of-force incidents were reported.
Chief Adam Iron told the board the police department handled 1,031 blotter reports in April, conducted 291 traffic stops, issued 101 traffic summonses and executed three arrests; he reported no use-of-force incidents for the month.
The chief flagged a sustained enforcement effort to address speed and erratic driving on Edgemere Avenue: from March 1–31 the department conducted 93 traffic stops and issued 48 summonses in one focused period and continued targeted stops in April. He said the department received a DCJS equipment grant for 2025 and plans to reapply for FY26 funding.
Why it matters: the numbers and the focus on Edgemere Avenue indicate a local traffic-safety emphasis. The chief also announced community events (fishing derby June 28, Green Lake Street Fair June 14) that may affect traffic and parking.
Next steps: the department will continue enforcement and recommended that residents expect congestion near Windermere Avenue during the street fair; the mayor and trustees thanked the police department for staying under budget for the fiscal year.
