What’s going on at the WFPD? According to Chief Irwin, quite a bit for the month of May. West Frankfort Police Officers responded to a whopping 2077 calls for the month, including 47 calls for traffic accidents, 12 of those accidents involving injuries. There were 258 traffic stops and 92 citations issues for the month of May, as well and 87 adult arrests made with 60 criminal charges resulting.
On the other end of WFFD and WFPD’s busy day is the dispatchers that make it all possible. West Frankfort Dispatchers do a fantastic job and work harder than most realize, answering 4916 calls for the month of May alone, including 721 9-1-1 emergency calls and 258 walk-in requests being answered.
