In the month of June the police department received 457 calls for service. In addition to these calls 74 uniform traffic

There was one Felony complaint of Burglary reported. A resident reported that when she returned to her home after being
away for a year, she found that her two sets of sterling silver flatware was missing. There is a suspect in this case and the
investigation is ongoing.
4 Penal Law Misdemeanor complaints were handled; all Larceny-Thefts from a Motor Vehicle. In all 4 complaints
residents stated that their unsecured vehicles had been entered without permission in the overnight hours. Items reported
missing included electronic devices, loose change, and sunglasses. There are no suspects at this time. Residents have
been advised to lock their vehicles in the future.
6 vehicle and traffic stops led to 6 misdemeanor charges including: 1-DWI, 1- Operating a MV with .18 of 1% of alcohol
in the blood, 1- Operating a MV with .08 of 1% of alcohol in the blood, and 3-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a MV

4 Penal Law Violations were reported, 2 for Trespass and 2 for Drugs. The 2 Trespass complaints were reported by
residents stating that their unsecured vehicle had been rummaged through overnight. No items were reported missing.
There are no suspects in these incidents. After investigation of 2 vehicle and traffic stops officers found subjects in the
vehicles to be in possession of marijuana and charges were filed. Both subjects were arrested for unlawful possession of
marijuana.
12 Local Law violations were received, 4 for Noise, 2 for Soliciting, 3 for Care of Property, and 3 for Dog Control. After
investigation of the 4 Noise complaints 1 was for 4 teenagers walking around the village yelling and arguing. A parent
was contacted and the 4 subjects were turned over without incident. In another complaint, the officer was not able to
locate the reported noise. In the third complaint a resident reported a loud garbage truck that was picking up trash during
the village’s quiet hours. In the final complaint for noise the resident stated he had heard the same alarming noise from a
neighboring property for a few days. Upon officer’s investigation the noise was coming from construction on a nearby
property but was not in violation of the village ordinance. The construction business was advised to not begin work
before 0700 hours daily. In one of the soliciting complaints subjects were found to be canvassing the village administering
religious information. As this type of canvassing is not a violation of the Village’s local law the subjects were encouraged
to respond to the police department to register their information and free to continue. The second soliciting complaint was
for a pest control service. Officers advised the subject to register with the Police Department before continuing their
distribution within the village. The subjects chose to leave the area. 3 Care of Property incidents occurred in which
residents were notified of their lawn being beyond the length specified in the village ordinance. All homeowners did
follow up with the care of their property and no citations were issued. 3 dog complaints were handled, 1 for a barking dog

was worked out between the complainant and dog owner. In the first of the 2 unleashed dog incidents the owner was
notified of the village’s dog control ordinances and advised that the citations would be issued pending future complaints.
The complainant in the second unleashed dog complaint sought charges and the dog owner was arrested under the
village’s Local Law Dog Control-Unleashed Dog.
2 Warrant arrests were made. In one arrest CHPD officers we able to locate a subject who had an active arrest warrant.
