Council to pause reserve-officer coverage in December, revisit in February
Summary
After reviewing incidents and citations, the council agreed to suspend additional reserve officer presence for December and January and to reassess reserve coverage effectiveness at the Feb. 10 council meeting.
Councilors reviewed a report from reserve officers about Wednesday-night activity, including traffic stops and citations for underage tobacco and other violations. Several members said the visible presence of officers had a deterrent effect, but they agreed to pause the additional reserve coverage for December and January and reassess its effectiveness during the February meeting.
One council member said the children know when officers are in town and that a trial suspension could show whether the presence is affecting behavior. The council planned to invite the reserves back for the Feb. 10 meeting to evaluate whether to reinstate additional coverage.
