Village Managers Community Update

Village Managers Community Update
 
OPEN- SINCERE- REFLECTIVE
 
Last night our Village Manager, Sharon Ragoonan, engaged “her neighbors” in her first of many (according to the response/request from the audience) Community Forums. We had a good turnout of about 47 residents and most seemed to appreciate her professionalism and manner in how she separated rumor from fact and educated us all on current Village issues.

P.S. The subject of attempting to create a master email list for all residents was discussed in an effort for better Village wide communication. If you can assist in this endeavor, please leave your ideas in the comments section below or contact me via my personal email- miltonhunter@gmail.com
Thanks-

2016 BP Crime Statistics

 2016 Annual Crime Statistics 

My sincere thanks to Interim Chief Nick Wollschlager for his prompt response in providing the 2016 Annual BP Crime Statistics for review. This report is “hot off the press” and as such does not include several elements that will be factored in by the State at a later time, i.e. Population, Index Change, % Cleared, etc. I will provide an update with these numbers once the webpage has been updated.

[*Population is an assumption from last year. Actual numbers were not provided]
[**Under motor vehicle theft- 5 cars + 2 motorcycles= 7 total] 
Here are a couple of points I found interesting:
1) Residential Burglary:
Night= 7
Day= 18
Unknown time= 12 / 37 Total
2) Larceny:
Motor vehicle= 41
Motor Vehicle parts= 1
Bicycles= 4
All others= 8 / 54 Total
For any specific questions, I would suggest to contact our police department directly. For more general questions and or discussion, please feel free to use the comment section below.
