POLICE DEPARTMENT Police Chief Richard Brandt appeared before the
OBJECTIVES Board to answer questions regarding the.
annual report he had submitted. It was noted
that response time to calls had not improved in the past year. Chief

delaying police arrival. Increase in traffic accidents was attributed
to the heavy volume of traffic in Deerfield caused by tollway repairs.

reducing the number of false alarms. Suggestions for consideration were
heavier penalties and limiting the number of free responses to false

collection rate will be presented at the next Board meeting.
