LIGONIER â Crime dropped in Ligonier in 2020, even as the number of service calls went up to their highest point in recent years.
But, as it turns out, the increase in calls and incidents is being driven a little bit by more people requesting help but probably more so by better logging software, the police chief said.
âOverall crime is low and we hopefully we keep it that way,â Chief Bryan Shearer said.
In the police department annual report delivered to the Ligonier City Council on Monday, Shearer reported that the department had 26,074 calls for service in 2020, which includes all incidents and documented calls to the department.
