Police Department Report
To: The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees
From: Chief David A. Blough
Re: Trustees Meeting, March 10, 2008

Board Members,
The Police Department is at 3,318 calls for service to date. Last year on this date we had 2280 calls for service. This is an increase of over 1,000 calls for service. We have arrested 250 people so far in 2008. Last year on this date we had arrested 150 people- and increase of 100 arrests over last year.

I am nearing completion of a comprehensive five-year plan for the police department. I will provide a copy of the plan and an explanation upon completion.

I have attached February reports to this brief.

I have nothing which requires Board action.

Respectfully Submitted,
Chief David A. Blough
