What Happens After the Arrest?

Denise Caron, administrative assistant to Chester Chief of Police Richard H. Cloud gave Rotarians an informative presentation about her job. Denise’s work at the police station requires a high degree of organization and attention to detail. Among her many responsibilities, Denise handles traffic tickets, alarm registration, video evidence, stolen item validation and records retention just to mention a few. One noteworthy area was the decline in the number of traffic tickets issued since 2010. Approximately eleven thousand tickets were handed out in 2014 down from sixty-six thousand in 2010. Also, the police department has been busy this year with thirty-nine arrests to date compared to a total of forty arrests in 2014. Rotarians went away with a new appreciation for what our local government employees do for us.
