Interim chief reports 317 calls, uptick in suspicious‑circumstance calls
Summary
Interim Chief Brantley told the council the department handled about 317 calls last month, roughly four arrests, 149 traffic stops (112 warnings, 37 citations) and a rise in suspicious‑circumstance calls associated with an increase in homeless activity in town.
Interim Chief Brantley presented the police department's monthly activity report to the council, highlighting call volume and enforcement figures.
Brantley said the department handled about 317 calls for the month and reported approximately four arrests, including a DWI. He noted traffic stops totaled 149 with 112 warnings and 37 citations; he also said suspicious‑circumstance calls have increased as the town works to address an apparent rise in people experiencing homelessness. "We're at 317 calls for last month... I think that's off by 1," he said while recounting arrests and traffic statistics.
He reported animal-control activity (12 calls for the month, two impounded animals, 29 year‑to‑date) and described code‑compliance follow‑ups on severely dilapidated houses where permits were secured for rebuilding. Council members thanked Brantley and did not take any formal action on the report.
