Police report: department responded to more than 376 incidents in two weeks
Summary
The police department reported responding to over 376 incidents in a recent two-week period, including roughly 50 traffic citations, five OVI arrests, six physical arrests and two motor-vehicle accidents; officers also handled about 30 incident reports for various crimes.
At the meeting, the police representative provided an activity summary covering a recent two‑week period. The department recorded "over 376 incidents," which the speaker said included about 50 traffic citations, five OVI arrests, roughly 30 incident reports related to various crimes, six physical arrests and two motor-vehicle accidents.
The presenter noted that some entries in the incident log reflect renewals or new requests tied to businesses within a plaza just north of a local mosque. The speaker said the department had previously dealt with issues in that location, including a citation issued in February after officers observed a vehicle in violation of the city's no‑parking rules between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
Council and staff reserved personnel matters to the director and noted that policing workload will continue to be addressed through department staffing and operational decisions.
