Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
SUBJECT: Report of the Police Chief for April 1977
The Police Department handled 70 complaints and investigated 6 motor vehicle
accidents. There were 112 traffic tickets and 11 parking tickets issued
during the month.
There were three felony complaints received during the month, one for grand
larceny, one for attempt to commit the crime of burglary and one for criminal
possession of a forged instrument. There were twenty -one misdemeanor complaints
eight for bad checks, four for criminal trespass, three for criminal mischief,
three for petit larceny, two for falsely reporting incident (fire alarm), and
one for public lewdness.
Five persons were arrested for Driving While Intoxicated, one person for
Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument and one person for Iesuing a Bad
Check. One juvenile was apprehended for curfew violation and one for
disorderly conduah.
I have been surveying the street name signs in the Village for the past several
months as the result of complaints concerning missing signs. The Mayor has
also received a complaint concerning this matter. We have not purchased any
replacements for street name signs in over three years and I recommend this
now be done. I will explain the proposal further at the Village Board
meeting but for reference, we need 43 signs and brackets at a cost of $725.41.
We have advertised for bids on the 1975 Nova 4 door sedan which was formerly
used as a police car. Twice we advertised for minimum bids of $2300 and
received no bids. The third time we advertised with no minimum bid required
and received only one bid for $1525. I would recommend that you seriously
consider accepting this bid inasmuch as there appears to be little interest
in people purchasing it and it has been sitting in our lot for over two
months.
There was a total of $1,076.10 in property reported lost or stolen during
the month and $441.02 in property recovered by the Police Department.
The officers worked a total of 25 hours overtime during the month.
