5 Things You Might Not Know About the Strongsville Police Department
Here are a few interesting facts from the annual report
What hour of the day is busiest for Strongsville police officers? What month of the year brings the most calls?
Here are five behind-the-scenes aspects of police work we found in the Strongsville Police Department's 2011 annual report.
1. The highest volume of calls come in between 1 and 4 p.m.
2. The busiest month for Strongsville police last year was July, when more than 3,200 calls came in. Next was August, then June, then October. Slowest was February, with fewer than 2,900 calls.
3. The department was asked to help with 1,629 lockouts. That's a lot of absent-minded drivers -- more than four a day.
4. Police checked out 2,199 alarms last year, nearly all false. Alarms make up 13 percent of the department's callouts.
5. The department's three canine officers, Achill, Cash and Tesco, were called into service 138 times in 2011. Half of the calls were for drug searches; 18 percent for tracking a suspect; 11 percent to search a building; 12 percent to assist other agencies.

Quote:"The department's three canine officers..." How can a dog (canine) be an officer? Sounds kinda weird to me. If a dog is a police officer:
What did "Achill, Cash and Tesco" each score on there civil service tests?
What did each score on there last pistol qualification?
Anyone that thinks a dog is a policeman needs to be sent for a psych evaluation!

winston winston winston ....I will try to explain using very small easy to understand words ....these canine (doggy) officers were just normal dogs but were chosen to go thru police dog training ...are you following me so far ...doggy police training NOT people police training (in strongsville it a misdemeanor of the first degree to even strike a canine officer <police doggy>)and the police canines are sworn in usually by having the handler affirm they are qualified to be canine police dog and can be called on to help save your life one day......... and you are correct a psych evaluation is needed

I did'nt expect a civil debate on this, and you did not dissapoint me.
You wrote: "the police canines are sworn in usually by having the handler affirm they are qualified to be canine police dog and can be called on to help save your life one day........"
Why does the handler "affirm" somthing about a dog's training? Don't a private company handle that? Weird.
No police dog has ever saved my life. I honestly can't see that EVER happening. That is a ridiculas assumption on your part.
The next time one of these dogs gets killed,I'll see you at the next "Canine Officer Funeral" where lot's of cops (on the clock,of course) from local city's go to a dog burial.
Look for me. I'll be the Taxpayer holding up a large sign that says" GET BACK TO WORK!".
I suspect that your a cop.If so,I encourage you to have contact with,and associate with, people other than law enforement. It will make you a more well rounded, and polite person.
Godd day.
