As we reach the halfway point of the year, we wanted to share our statistics with the community in the spirit of transparency, as we have customarily done.
One of the biggest parts of proactive policing happens when no one has called us. Officers have completed 1,405 District and Building checks, patrolling neighborhoods, businesses, parks, and other key locations throughout the community. These visible patrols help deter crime, increase officer presence, and allow us to identify suspicious activity before it becomes a problem. This played a large role in solving a recently reported on stolen vehicle on 06/29, in addition to a vigilant officer!
We have continued to maintain our 90% clearance rate, which is the percentage of reported crimes that have been solved through arrest, exceptional means, or by identifying the responsible person and completing the investigation. It reflects investigative work at each level; not just making arrests. This year, we also solved two cases that were originally reported in previous years, bringing long awaited resolution to those investigations.
Thank you to our community for your continued support. We remain committed to being proactive, transparent, and dedicated to keeping La Cygne a safe place to live, work, and visit.
