Presentation: Approximately 15 minutes followed by discussion
Thum began the presentation with a review of the Public Safety Training Center and
explained that the Administration intends to provide similar updates on a biannual
basis going forward. Despite the growing population, the crime rate is low
especially when compared to other large communities. All data presented by Thum
is through October of the cited year. Homicides were down in 2021 with three
compared to 11 in 2020 and six 2019, while rape remained relatively steady with
two more in 2021 compared to 2020 (104) and one less than 2019 (107). Both
Domestic Aggravated Assault and Aggravated Assault are down from 2020, but up
from 2019. Robberies were down compared to 2020 while burglaries rose from 632
in 2020 to 719 in 2021. Thum emphasized the growing trend in stolen vehicles and
noted that a large portion of stolen vehicles had the keys left in them. He urged the
public to lock their vehicles and to not leave their keys in them. Larceny was slightly
up from 2019 and 2020, while vandalism has decreased compared to 2020. This
past year, a record amount of Fentanyl was seized along with high amounts of
methamphetamine. Thum stated that the department and the City continue to work
with other law enforcement agencies to address drugs and drug use as overdoses
reached an all-time high this year with 26. He also provided an update on
department staffing, recruiting, and certification.
Discussion followed about: staffing; recruiting; thefts, burglaries, and larceny; stolen
vehicles; diversity of the police force; crime trends by neighborhood; and, the use of
body cameras. It was requested that Thum return to an Informational Meeting to
present about body cameras.
