The Police Department is seeking funding for another school resource officer at Eliot Middle School, but the request remains part of the proposed budget process. The department also reported increased motor-vehicle enforcement and said accident data points to driver behavior, including speeding and running red lights, rather than weather. Commissioners recommended publishing the department’s annual report online so residents can better understand police call volume.
