This month’s police blotter covers the period of March 25 to April 23. During the month the Beacon Police Department responded to 1164 total calls, 229 of which were traffic stops. A total of 63 arrests were made.
Why is the blotter edited? Why not show all calls?
The blotter has to be transcribed by hand, so only the calls that are relevant to the greatest amount of people are reported. For instance, traffic stops are not detailed, nor are false alarms or car accidents.
What’s the difference between larceny, burglary, and robbery?
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, larceny is the unlawful taking of personal property with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently; burglary is the act of breaking and entering a dwelling at night to commit a felony (as theft); and robbery is larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat.
