The figures can be found in section XI of my report. In general the crime picture in Sylvania remained fairly consistent with prior years and there is not any specific crime or crime category that warrant concern relevant to the safety of our community. 1998 was significant to the future of this police agency. The building of a new court building means the Sylvania Police Division will have it's own building which is significant. I can say that every member of this department is eagerly anticipating raising our department flag on our own building.
Pride is certainly part of a police departments make up.
This is projected in our uniforms and vehicles. Having a building that is the police department will identify who we are and will be part of our image. Yes, part of this building will be the chamber for our city council which in fact is also positive to us. We look forward to the spring of 1999 when we can open our new doors for service to the community. Sylvania is an exceptional city and believe that the efforts of our police officers have made a positive impact on the quality of life in this community.
