Re: Report of the Police Department for October, 2012
In the month of October the police department received 267 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 67 uniform
traffic tickets were issued and 11 parking tickets were written. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
The department received 2 felony complaints of burglary. These 2 incidents were reported to have taken place on
October 19 th ; however one was not reported until October 23 rd due to the resident not noticing anything missing
right away. Both residents reported items taken from the bedroom. There are no suspects and the investigation is
still in progress. The department utilized the Village’s crime alert and email blast resources to notify residents and
other village employees of these reported incidents.
There were 3 calls for misdemeanors reported: 2 for larceny, and 1 for fraud. One larceny was reported as a laptop
being stolen out of a classroom at Cayuga Heights School. The other occurred at Kendall of Ithaca. Money in the
form of cash and checks was reported stolen. There are no suspects in either case. The report of fraud was received
as a bad check complaint. The suspect was notified of the matter and responded to CHPD to pay restitution; no
charges were sought by the complainant.
A total of 4 violations were reported: 3 for harassment, and 1 for unlawful possession of marijuana. Of the 3
harassment complaints, 2 involved cell phones. One was a report of several phone calls being received from an
unknown subject using foul language. The other was of text messages being sent to a juvenile female by a 21 year
old male. The suspect in this case is a known repeat offender. Investigation is ongoing. The 3rd harassment
complaint was made by an anonymous female caller who left a message on the department phone stating that she
wanted to report inappropriate and harassing behavior being displayed by drivers of a local cab company. The
company was notified by CHPD and nothing further has been reported. The incident of UPM began as a domestic
incident which occurred outside of the Village of Cayuga Heights. 2 subjects came to CHPD to report the dispute,
upon investigation the male disclosed that he was in possession of marijuana. An arrest was made and the defendant
was later turned over to the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department for further investigation of the domestic
incident.
There were also 4 Local Law violations investigated: 3 for noise and 1 for being in the park after hours. The first
complaint of noise involved loud music coming from a vehicle parked in a driveway. Upon officers arrival the
vehicle was no longer at the residence. A second report of noise came in as gun shots in the area. The officer on
duty responded to the location and determined the shots to be fireworks in the distance. The last noise complaint was
reported as a barking dog. Contact was made with the dog’s owner; no further reports have been made. The
remaining violation involved 4 teenagers in the park after hours. They were each issued appearance tickets and
released.
In summary there were 5 total arrests made: 1 for Unlawful possession of marijuana and 4 for being in the park after
hours.
There were 7 Motor vehicle accidents investigated, 2 of which were involving deer. There were 3 additional
incidents in which deer were involved.
On October 2 nd full time and part time officers completed the annual low light firearms qualifications.
The Department participated with the annual Cayuga Heights Fire Department open house on October 20 th . Officers
set up a DARE table along with patrol vehicle 125.
The full time officers worked a total of 34.5 hours of overtime and the part time officers worked a total of 89 hours.
Sincerely,
Chief James Steinmetz
