Due to errors in the tracking software and delays in manually entering citations, the number of traffic citations issued does not correspond with the total, said Police Chief Aaron Kasiewicz. The number of crash reports does not reflect all reports written.
“We are working on better ways to track for this year, hopefully with the help of the 911 center,” Kasiewicz said.
