Week of March 9 - 15

This week marks the start of our Weekly Snapshot for Agassiz. We want to keep you informed of the police activity in your community. Our goal is to share timely, accurate information, and increase transparency.  Here is what kept our officers busy this past week.

• Total calls for service: 74
• Violation Tickets Issued: 13
• Impaired Driving: 2

An officer was out doing proactive patrols when he came across a vehicle with expired insurance. A roadside stop was conducted, and the driver was exhibiting signs of impairment. The driver ultimately refused to provide a sample of his breath and they were issued an Immediate Roadside Prohibition, a violation ticket for no insurance, and the vehicle was impounded.

A railway company reported a person laying down between railroad tracks outside of town. Police attended the area and with the assistance of the Fire Department, a drone was utilized to comb the area. A short time later police were approached by a community member who advised they had driven a family member home who had been in the vicinity. Police were able to confirm this was the same person as reported on the tracks, and thankfully they were safe and unharmed.

A two vehicle collision occurred on the bypass on Highway 9. None of the occupants were injured but the vehicles were not drivable, sustaining substantial damage. Both vehicles were towed and the highway was cleared quickly for traffic to continue.

An unlocked vehicle on Pioneer Avenue was rummaged through by unknown individuals and numerous pieces of identification were taken. So far police have not been able to locate any evidence to identify those responsible. This serves as a good reminder to keep vehicles locked and not leave important items inside when unattended.
