The winter storm, already infamous with effects still ongoing, has posed challenges for Killeenâs police force, including an increase in calls for service, but officers are rolling with the punches.
âItâs been a challenge prioritizing the many calls for service to help Killeenâs residents,â said Ofelia Miramontez, KPD spokeswoman, in an email on Thursday. âThis week alone, the department has received a high volume of calls related to traffic crashes and disabled vehicles, due to the weather and road conditions.â
At the same time, the usual police work continues.
According to the online Community Crime Map over the past week, officers have responded to 10 narcotics violations, eight instances of vandalism, five aggravated assaults, four DUIs, five motor vehicle thefts, and five other burglaries and thefts, along with other calls.
