Intimate partner violence, drug use and trafficking, as well as violent crimes are all on the radar of the Smiths Falls Police Service as the instance numbers climb.
Deputy Chief Chris Kettyle says these calls are all-consuming and they’re trying to work all angles to mitigate them.
The SFPS also continue to see lots of familiar calls and faces, and it’s frustrating for everyone involved.
Kettyle knows his officers also get frustrated with arresting the same individuals committing the same crimes shortly after posting bail.
Kettlye is hopeful bail reform comes soon.
