Sheriff's deputy presents August calls-for-service summary to board

John McChaney of the Southern County Sheriff's Department gave the board a monthly report during the public-comment period, listing call volumes and the most frequent call types for August. "For the fueling area for the month of August, both calls for service were 863 calls for service," McChaney said, and he detailed that 754 of those came through dispatch with 109 self-initiated deputy calls and 66 criminal reports.

McChaney also summarized activity in the Pinyon Hills area, saying deputies responded to 330 calls for service in that area, with about 300 through dispatch and 30 self-initiated reports. He listed top call types as information calls, wireless reports, follow-up investigations, welfare checks, and traffic stops and invited questions from directors. Board members thanked McChaney for the update; no formal action followed the report.
