At Monday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge attempted to dispel the notion that all Mt. Carmel Police officers do is write tickets. Judge said local officers responded to a total of 499 incidents in September and of those, just 3 speeding tickets were issued. Other tickets issued included 5 for a revoked license, 3 for uninsured motorist, 4 for no valid registration, and served 5 warrants. To illustrate his point, Judge said officers wrote 63 warnings, a big difference between that and the number of tickets issued. MCPD officers last month also handled 14 accidents, 3 mental health calls, 3 community events, 98 security checks at Wabash General Hospital, 55 residential security checks, and 8 business security checks. Judge said the comment that all the officers do is write tickets was uninformed.
