Police report: March calls, Flock camera pilot and community events planned
Summary
Lieutenant Wise reported March public‑safety statistics (51 dispatches, 10 citations, 70 traffic stops, six arrests) and outlined a planned Flock camera pilot pending school permission, a drug takeback from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and an afternoon Touch‑a‑Truck event at Enon Park on April 26.
Lieutenant Wise presented the March public‑safety report and described several public‑safety initiatives planned for April.
The lieutenant said the department recorded 51 dispatches, 10 citations, 70 traffic stops and six arrests during March — 152 total monthly events — and reported a $50 donation to the Shop with a Cop program. He also described plans for a Flock camera pilot: the vendor has proposed a 60‑day trial (the contract language notes a 10‑day cancellation notice), and the cameras would be installed at locations including the library, post office, Drug Mart, IGA and the senior center if property owners agree.
On community outreach, the department will host a national drug takeback on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the government center and a Touch‑a‑Truck family event at Enon Park from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with participation expected from local agencies and the sheriff’s office. The lieutenant also briefed the council on fleet maintenance needs and a recent diagnostic showing a possible $8,500 transmission repair on an older vehicle, which council members said they were unlikely to fund and recommended replacement instead.
Quote: “To start off the month of March statistics, we had 51 dispatches, uh, 10 citations, 70 traffic stops, five assist with the EMS and fire… we had six arrests,” Lieutenant Wise said.
