Hammer notes a busy year with minor incidents like lockouts and inquiries, while total police actions fell by 61 from 2012 mainly due to fewer speeding tickets. Auto accidents rose from 74 to 85 and assists to other agencies climbed from 88 to 110. Adult arrests dropped 22 percent to 436. The six full time officers, including Hammer, and three part timers oversee the department.
