Police report: April crime numbers, Civil Service eligibility list authorized
Summary
Chief McHuan reported 13 crimes in April and 255 calls for service; council authorized the Civil Service Commission to create an eligibility list for a full‑time patrol officer to fill a vacancy caused by a pending resignation.
Parkside's police chief presented April crime statistics at the May 20 meeting, reporting 13 crimes that month including one theft, two assaults, two property‑damage incidents, two frauds, one weapons offense and one shots‑fired call. Calls for service totaled 255; traffic enforcement included three accidents, 76 motor‑vehicle stops and 53 citations.
Council also moved to authorize the Civil Service Commission to create an eligibility list for the position of full‑time patrol officer in the Parkside Police Department; the motion passed by voice vote. The solicitor later reported Officer Mark Townson submitted his resignation effective June 5, which creates a forthcoming vacancy the eligibility list can help fill. "We have 13 crimes... calls for service for the month of April were 255," Chief McHuan said, summarizing the written report.
Chief McHuan told council officers re‑certified in first aid/CPR and that water‑damage repairs to the police department are scheduled to begin June 1; he said coordination is ongoing to provide contractors with clearances to work at the department.
