CPD Chief of Police Report – by Police Chief, Shane Roberts – 12/1/2008
The Police Department report for the month of November shows the Police Department dealing with a variety of calls and criminal activity. Over the past month the department took 35 incident reports. The type of reports included drug possession, weapon possession and stolen property..
The department applied to the State for a litter enforcement grant. This grant is through the Palmetto Pride Project and can be utilized to buy equipment to help not only with the detection and apprehension of individuals but it will aid in the prosecution. The award announcement date is December 22, 2008.
The Christmas parade will be another concern for the department. The department is working in partnership with the SCDOT in order to ensure traffic is detoured in an effective manner. Traffic is currently being scheduled to be detoured down Sally Ackerman and Rehoboth rd. Confirmation will be announced closer to the date of the parade.
And last, the police department is working in association with Cottageville Elementary School on a Christmas toy drive. The police department is seeking donations of new unwrapped toys to be distributed by the school. These gifts will be given to low-income children for Christmas. All gifts can be dropped off here at town hall. I am urging all town citizens and business owners to participate. We can show our pride for our town by making this a success and making this “Christmas to remember” for a child.
As Chief of Police I thank you for your support.
Chief Shane Roberts
