Crime



The PDF presentation wasn't available before the meeting so I'll post later what was shared at the meeting tonight. The news is good here in Finneytown. Due to the additional services and protections currently offered by the Police and Fire departments, it was reported that there was a big decrease in crime in our area:



Township-wide crimes for the first half of 2010 was 394. Township-wide crimes for first half 0f 2009 495 which means there is a 26% decrease overall. In 2010, Finneytown South crimes were 25 and 32 in 2009which means 22.5% decrease overall.





New Resolution about Dogs: Going After Dog Complaints



The police are writing a new resolution to protect neighbors from menacing dogs focusing on impounding the "bad behavior"of the dog (bites, attacks, etc.) and not the breed.





Parking



Police are working on resolutions about street parking that will bring it up to date. There will be a 72 hour limit for street parking in designated areas.







Youth Activity



The Fire Department will be focusing creating mentoring programs with students at who are at risk for dropping out of school.
