The following is a summary of the Randolph Police Department Incident Reports, and Ticket Warnings Issued Reports, for the months of June - October 2023.
I have separated the incidents into categories to get a more accurate breakdown of the actual calls for service and the location of the calls. The town/village incidents do not include the fingerprint incidents as these are all processed at the department office but serve the entire population. In addition, these are not incidents that require law enforcement and could be processed elsewhere if the department did not exist.
I have also separated incidents noted for training, administration, directed patrol and records requests. While this incidents are important and necessary in conducting the work of the department, they are not calls from the public requiring the attention of law enforcement.
What remains are the incidents actually involving law enforcement and the public in one form or another - from traffic stops, welfare checks or public speaking to felony arrests and domestic violence response. This data clearly shows that each month roughly 30%+ of the incidents are in locations outside of the village police district. In September 2023, 55% of the ticket warnings issued were in locations outside of the village district, while in October 2023 47% of the warnings were issued outside of the village district.
This data may not be perfect, but it illustrates to me a need for law enforcement in the Town of Randolph, and not just in the village.
