The City of Fenton Board of Aldermen meeting on December 19, 2024, featured a significant monthly report from Captain Kevin Lawson, the precinct commander. The report provided an overview of police activity for November 2024, highlighting trends in calls for service, self-initiated actions, and arrests.

Captain Lawson noted that the total calls for service in November 2024 reached 786, an increase of about 20 calls compared to October 2024 and the same increase from November 2023. However, self-initiated actions by officers saw a decrease, with 1,642 reported in November, down from 1,964 in October and 1,488 a year prior.

The report also indicated a rise in arrests, which is common as the holiday shopping season begins. There were 32 arrests and summonses in November, an increase from 26 in October and 22 in November 2023.

This monthly report underscores the ongoing trends in public safety and law enforcement as the city approaches the holiday season, reflecting both the challenges and demands placed on local police services during this busy time of year.
