The incident case reports listed are just a sampling of the 24 crime index categories included in the Uniform Crime
Report and therefore the totals of the selected categories will not add up to the total number of incidents shown on
the last line above.
Disorderly Conduct/Disturbing the Peace: I don't believe we should be alarmed by the 31% increase in these types
of calls, because after all, when working with a relatively small number, this is only 16 more of such calls from last
year, which is about one and one-half per month
For the year, our call load went up 1% and we worked one officer short for about half the year. That is most likely
the reason for a 5% reduction in traffic stops.
Most of the major crimes show a reduction in 2013. The exception to this is a 14% increase in burglaries. Motor
vehicle accidents are up slightly, this is easily attributable to the 'winter like driving conditions' we experience
through the beginning of May last year.
