WEEKLY REPORT

This past week has been very active out in the county. Our patrol deputies answered a total of 436 calls, up from 429 in the week prior. That is an average of 32 calls per shift, with each deputy answering an average of 8 calls per shift. Those calls range from simple report calls to felony arrests, and much more.
 
Deputies also regularly enforce traffic code, via traffic stops. These stops are deputy initiated after observing a moving, equipment, or other violation by a vehicle. Many of these stops end with a warning, whether written or verbal.  In select stops, the driver is issued a citation, and even more rarely is a person arrested from one of these stops. This past week, 10% of all traffic stops ended with an arrest, or 1 out of every 10 stops. This week, due to excessive rainfall, drivers slowed down, and that resulted in a 33% decline in stops this week. This is a great sign, showing that fewer violations were committed, and drivers were more cautious due to hazardous road conditions.
 
Lastly, we want to thank the community for your support. We could not do what we do without the support of our citizens. We care about fostering positive community relationships, and seek to actively involve our citizens at every opportunity. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, and we look forward to what the future holds.
