POLICE REPORT

Town Council
RE: May 2008 Monthly Report
Dear Mayor and Council,
As all of you know the biggest event for the month of May was the Flooding and the activation of the National Guard to assist with the sand bagging to prevent the flood waters from reaching town.
This critical incident took a great deal of time and effort by Officer O'Conner and me. We would like to thank Janet, Cody and the Mayor for all of the assistance they provided during this time. We did have a de-briefing on the Incident Command and recognized some of the failures that we had and if and when we have another major incident we hope that it will go toward a lesson well learned. Biggest thing to report is that we had no property damaged and no injuries to called in help or staff during this trying time.
Calls for service have continued to rise, even with the week of flooding. We have been vigil on the flood waters as they are an up and down event and this will last most likely until mid-June.
Chief Owen has been deeply involved with the budget preparation for 2008-2009. We are anticipating a budget to reflect the cost of gasoline and the purchase of a replacement vehicle for the police department. With the truck being retired to the water department for their use.
Chief Owen will be attending the Wyoming DARE Conference in Cheyenne during the last part of June. The agenda is one that will assist in development of our DARE program to a higher degree and will be a major step in our Community Policing Program.

We are presently involved with CAD in development of a program to get Teens and our community support in an effort to reduce Teen Drinking. Over the summer you will most likely see some very heavy press issues and some direction to involve parents in this serious situation that affects our community.
We have not lost track of the abandoned vehicle ordinance. We are still seeing some compliance to the ordinance and we have been set back by a couple of weeks due to the flooding issues. Attached to this report is a copy of the blank
NOTICE OF VIOLATION that will soon be going out to those persons who have not complied. This notice contains all of the information needed to begin enforcement and to assist in impoundment of vehicles.
