Boyce Chief of Police July 8,2009 To: The Honorable Mayor Gilmore Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Re: Report of the Police Department for June 2009 For the month of June there were 99 complaints reported to the police department and no motor vehicle accidents investigated. There were 21 traffic tickets issued and 1 parking ticket written. For the month of June there were no felony complaints. There were two misdemeanors reported: one for Criminal Mischief and one for Identity Theft. A complainant reported that the hood of his vehicle had been damaged, as if someone had deliberately used an object to scratch it. He noticed the damage after the vehicle had been parked at the Cayuga Heights School. This has been an ongoing problem. The complainant would get the damage repaired and then it would happen again. It was finally determined that the damage had been caused by a piece of metal sticking out in the complainant's garage which would scratch the vehicle when it was driven in and out. This case was closed as unfounded as well as two other cases concerning the vehicle's damage. A resident reported a case of identity theft as there were fraudulent charges on his debit card. The resident had already notified his bank and a block was put on his card. There were eight violations reported for the month of June: seven for Disorderly Conduct and one for Harassment. All the disorderly conduct cases were reports of loud music or loud voices. In all incidents, the persons responsible were advised of the complaints and there were no further problems. The harassment complaint involved a tenant and his landlord's wife. The tenant was upset with the excessive amount of requests to have access to the apartment and interrupting his daily life. The wife and the landlord were in the middle of a divorce proceeding and it had not been agreed upon who was the actually landlord of the property. As it was a civil case, the wife was advised to have no contact with the tenants until she had paperwork in hand indicating that she was the landlord. There was one Village Ordinance complaint for dog control involving an ongoing problem with a dog barking during the early morning hours. There were two Vehicle and Traffic problems reported. There were eighty-six miscellaneous complaints reported to this department for the month of June. During the month of June, Chief Boyce and Sgt. Steinmetz attended a one day conference in Cazenovia for Civil Rights hosted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Chief Boyce, Sgt. Steinmetz and Officer Lanning attended a one day seminar on school safety put on by the Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response in Ithaca. Officer Wright, with the assistance of Officer Cary, conducted the annual bike rodeo at the Northeast School.
