The incident case reports listed are just a sampling of the 24 crime index categories included in the Uniform Crime
Report and selected call classifications as requested by the City Council for tracking, therefore the totals of the
selected categories will not add up to the total number of incidents shown on the last line above.
The police department has been using the LETG Record Management system for two years now and comparisons
year to year are now reported in the same system, so the comparisons should be vastly similar given the information
is gathered and reported in the same system for each category.
Heat maps as requested by council, are able to be provided through the new RMS system and additional crime
mapping software. Additionally, public access to crime maps was rolled out in June of 2017. Links to the crime maps
are provided on the police department webpage and at www.communitycrimemap.com
Total calls for service for the month of September were up 16% from last September, year to date
calls are up by 8%. Year to date we have seen some decreases burglaries and thefts this year,
although thefts were up in September. DWI arrest are down for the year, and significantly in
September. I contribute most of this downward departure to in increase in call load and staffing
5E
shortages, which does not give officers time for proactive enforcement. Traffic stops were up in
September, primarily due to one officer picking up some daytime toward zero death shifts.
