POLICE DEPARTMENT
VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
To: Hon. Frederick G. Marcham, Mayor
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
Subject: Activities of the Police Department for September 1972
The Police Department handled 54 complaints and investigated 6 motor
vehicle accidents. There were 104 traffic tickets and 24 parking tickets
issued during the month.
House burglaries are on the increase in the area adjacent to the Village
and on September 22nd a house on Highlant: Road was entered while the
owners were out for the evening. We have been coordinating our
investigative efforts with the State Police and Sheriff's Department
to solve these crimes. The store security personnel for the Super Duper
Market at the Corners Community Center turned over five shoplifters during
the month. It might interest you to knort the sex and ages of the subjects
which included 3 females, age 61, 50, and 37 and two males age 34 and 19.
A male subject age 18 was also arrested for Criminal Possession of Stolen
Property in connection with a stolen bicycle. These matters are presently
pending in Village Court.
During September, several complaints were received concerning attempted
assaults and public lewdness which occurred in the south end of the
• Village, mostly on Triphammer Road. As a result of these complaints we
have been requested to provide additional street lighting in some dark
areas where female students walk during the hours of darkness. I would
like to recommend that you approve the immediate lighting changes as
listed on the attached memorandum, which would cost a total of $88.35
annually.
An auction will be held on Saturday, October 21, 1972 at 10:00 A.M. at the
Cayuga Heights Fire Station to sell abandoned property acquired over the
years by the police department, mainly bicycles.
With the discontinuance of a school crossing guard position at the
intersection of The Parkway and Hanshaw Road, Albert Cicchetti, who
was the school guard chose to resign rather than continue on a call
basis. Mr. Cicchetti has served faithfully since 1964 and I would
recommend that the Village Board of Trustees make a resolution thanking
him for his long and faithful service and sending him a letter to this
effect.
The part -time officers worked 137 hours and the full -time officers
worked 11 hours overtime during September.
Respectfully submitted,
