A police representative then presented an activity report covering 2023 through mid‑2026. Key figures included total department 'entries' of 8,084 (2023) and 8,592 (2024), a decline to 7,538 in 2025, and a mid‑2026 pace that projects a year‑end figure between approximately 7,700 and 7,900. The department reported traffic‑enforcement activity (530 vehicle stops in the first six months of the year with 510 summonses and 77 warnings), case counts (845 in 2023, 826 in 2024, 741 in 2025, with 331 open detective cases through mid‑2026), arrest counts (384 in 2023; 374 in 2024; 394 in 2025; 146 in the first half of 2026), and warrant management metrics with varying closure rates by year. The presenter described the figures as evidence of sustained proactive and community‑oriented policing and thanked the board for support and resources (Police representative).
