I" Street Laurel, Mt. 59044 ® Phone 406-628-8737 ® Fax 406-628-4641 Chief of Police Stanley J Langve Emergency Services Report November 27, 2023 For the reporting period of October 23rd, through November 26`x', 2023, the FAP had 826 total calls for service, with 114 crimes reported for the 35 -day reporting period. At the time of the report the FAPS calls for service were 1194 for the year. Which is a 9.3% increase over last year's numbers and 9.9% increase for the 3 -year average (and a 19.8% increase over last month). YTD crimes reported (1194) is an increase of 8.6% from 2022 and an increase of 11.7% for the 3 -year average. For the 35 -day reporting period, crimes reported were down 20% (21calls) from the 3 -year average. Thefts remain a strong part of these increases. Overall and with the holiday season here, thefts, mental health, and disturbances generally increase. Methamphetamine and Fentanyl remain strong driving forces in crimes and disturbances. The Police Department had two Narcan incidents this last month. One was a fatality, and another was a near fatal overdose. Staffing and recruitment remain a critical issue for the department. From the last hiring cycle, we have a conditional Offer of Employment pending. We hope to on -board this individual in December and will be advertising for Patrol Officers soon. That will leave two open positions to fill. Captain Pitts has retired from the department and Sergeant Anglin is the Acting Captain. It will probably be the end of the summer or early fall until I can nominate him for appointment as Captain as he must fill Patrol shifts. We will also be doing interviews for Sergeant (s) this week.
