Despite an increase in calls and traffic stops, overall crime statistics for 2017 remained fairly consistent.

“Overall we dealt with less crime in 2017,” Police Chief Mike Sullivan said. “As the town grows we will most likely see an increase in crime but so far that has not happened.”

Tier 1 crimes include crimes of a more serious nature such as robberies, assaults, thefts, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts.
