Officer Forgy of the Nixa Police Department summarized the department's weekly activity and community events, reporting 529 calls for service, 187 traffic stops, nine car crashes (two with injuries), 43 reports taken, three DUI arrests, one narcotics arrest and seven warrant arrests.

The figures came during a brief weekly wrap-up in which Officer Forgy also promoted two upcoming community events. He said the Nixa School District’s Back to School Bash will be held “this Saturday” and warned drivers to expect possible traffic delays. He also announced National Night Out will be Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Nixa Community Center pool; Forgy said entry will be free during those hours, there will be free food and prizes.

Officer Forgy encouraged residents interested in policing careers to apply, saying, “if you're interested in a career in law enforcement, we are hiring and go to join nixapd.com.”

The wrap-up was short and staff-led; there were no motions or formal actions reported at the time of the briefing.
