Thanks to one shore town posting some stats online, we can now get a good idea of what officers handled over the course of just a few days.
The Ventnor City Police Department, which covers just under two square miles of land, took to Facebook on Tuesday to share a weekend scorecard of everything they dealt with...
- Calls for service: 365 (over 90/day)
- Total arrests: 12
- DWI arrests: 4
- Motor vehicle crashes: 18 (3 resulted in DWI arrests)
- Parking complaints: 39
- Noise complaints: 8
- Disturbances: 5
- Domestic violence incidents: 6
- Motor vehicle stops: 86
- Parking violations issued: 98
- Moving violations issued: 65
Again, Ventnor is just under two square miles (Atlantic City is five times larger). It's a relatively small town. And pretty quiet, too.
Hundreds of calls, 18 accidents handled, 98 parking tickets written, half-a-dozen domestic violence incidents resolved -- all in one long weekend.
As for the DWI arrests, police say this:
As the summer months are just starting to kick off, the Ventnor City Police Department would like to remind everyone to Not Drink and Drive. Be a HERO. Be a Designated Driver.
