Todays Mail Box-- Policing

Today's mailbox will contain the Police Report. I am quite proud of my efforts to fix a badly broken police department. We are now CALEA certified and while the process ultimately took 3 years and cost around $30,000, the results have become apparent over the years and they are reflected in the declining crime rate statistics that the state police uses to track crime. I am proud to saying comparing the 2001 numbers when I took office to todays, we have a 55% drop in crime in the village.

I won't go into all the details here becuse I have blogged about them before. So here is an index:
