Police highlight recent responses and say drone grant reimbursed $20,319.15
Summary
A police representative reviewed recent calls, DUI/refusal procedures and a water rescue aided by drone video; the representative told council the drone replacement grant had been fulfilled and the town was reimbursed $20,319.15.
The council heard a monthly activity report from the town's police representative covering notable incidents, mutual aid responses and community engagement events.
The official recounted an assault-related vehicle stop, coordination with neighboring departments on investigations and a recent water rescue in which a drone with a video feed helped locate a person in the river. The speaker said the drone-replacement grant "has been fulfilled" and that the town was reimbursed for the equipment purchase.
Council thanked the department for volunteer hours contributed by auxiliary officers during community events and noted partnerships with UVA and other local resources for mental-health response. The police representative also flagged upcoming water-main work and asked the council to coordinate on traffic and access during construction.
