Chief Novian told trustees the district recorded low incident numbers for the year, saying, "we only for the entire year, we only had 24 criminal cases" and 29 information reports. He described several agency assists but said overall call volume was light and credited compliance.
He also updated the board on the K-9 program: one Belgian Malinois was removed from the program because of behavioral concerns, a replacement canine was secured, and both current dogs are young female yellow labs. Chief Novian said both canines are being trained as narcotics detection dogs and that one will also be dual-certified in comfort/trauma response. He and Officer Hoffman plan to obtain canine-handler certification in early June.
