“I didn’t want to give out incomplete information … Joe and I made the decision that we would simply provide calls for service. “Depending on the shift supervisor, they may or may not include some or all of the arrest info,” Recor said. “But in speaking with Joe Theobald, I understand that these reports are compiled by individual shift supervisors at the call center.” “I had initially responded to Brent that the inconsistency must be because of a computer glitch, because it was my impression that the reports were automated,” explained City Manager David Recor. However, it was unclear until recently how the reports are actually generated. In recent weeks, Ashley has questioned why the reports seem to be inconsistent in style and inclusiveness.
Top city officials regularly receive what are known as CAD reports, an acronym for computer-aided dispatch, which feature notifications on arrests, calls for service, and other emergency action through a given time span. (July 12, 2013) In a move likely to increase tension over Councilman Brent Ashley’s desire for a public debate about crime in the resort, the city Police Commission this week noted that the total number of arrests per shift will no longer be given out on the daily dispatch reports issued to council.īut the commission also pointed out that more specific and complete information is already available to the public via the Ocean City Police Department’s online portal.
