Every category showed growth. The largest relative increases appeared in warrants served and OWI arrests, while overall demand for police services (calls for service) also moved higher.

Context

Summer months often bring elevated call volumes and enforcement activity as more people are outdoors, traffic increases, and events or holiday periods occur. The July uptick in OWI arrests and traffic-related actions (citations and warnings) aligns with this seasonal pattern. The department’s consistent reporting of these metrics provides transparency into monthly workload and enforcement focus.

These numbers offer a high-level view of operational activity. They do not break down specific incident types, geographic distribution, or case outcomes.
