Rich Austin, Police Chief
We are at about the same rate this year in crime as we were last year. We have had three violent
crimes, but they have all been cleared. Accidents are down by 8%. We had 16 teen drivers who
attended the Alive at 25 class. Our Milton Explorers attended the National Explorers competition
in Gatlinburg, TN with over 3,000 participants and 20 states represented. Our explorers received
4th place in the Robbery in Progress exercise, 3rd place in the Drug Identification competition, and
1 St place in both the Suspicious Death Investigation and the Felony Stop category.
Shannon Ferguson, Communications Director
We continue to work on our new website design. We exceed the national average in email open
rates and we have very few unsubscribes. Our National Citizen Survey with ICMA has started.
With an additional staff member, we will be looking for ways to expand our communication
efforts. We are planning to bring back "Tuesday Tidbits." I would like to introduce Jen Hartwig,
our new Public Relations Specialist, who will be helping me implement city communications. We
are excited that she has joined us.
