Summary

Chief Bradley told the council the department handled 317 calls last month, about three arrests, increased traffic stops (254), and animal control activity including three impounds this month and 13 transports to a regional humane society for the fiscal year.

Chief Bradley presented the police department’s monthly activity report and said overall statistics were generally status quo but noted some upticks and ongoing investigations. He reported the department ran 317 total calls last month and that detective work had kept staff busy with assault and homicide follow‑ups. The department logged three arrests and an increase in traffic stops to 254, which the chief said helps explain fewer accidents.

Animal control activity increased: the department impounded three animals this month and transported 13 animals to the Hill Country Humane Society for the fiscal year (the department’s contract allows 40 transports). Chief Bradley said the district attorney is reviewing potential felony tampering with physical evidence charges tied to an abandoned property case and additional charges are being filed related to animals found in the home.
