Addison Police Chief Presents Annual Report

Each year, the Addison Police Department (APD) prepares an Annual Report that includes a statistical review of the year, notable events from the patrol and criminal investigation divisions, community outreach events, and goals and objectives the year. At the February 20 Council Meeting, Police Chief Paul Spencer shared APD’s 2018 Annual Report with the City Council.

The report shows several offense types were down in 2018, but larcenies, which are thefts of personal property, were up slightly. Chief Spencer explained that one person was responsible for 74 of those theft crimes that impacted 113 victims; the suspect was arrested on Addison felony warrants in Austin, Texas. Chief Spencer also reported that Addison has the highest case clearance rate of all four Metrocrest cities at 21%.
