Public confidence in the Woodstock police is on the rise. City Police say the proof is in their recently released 2011 report that showed a 7% increase in calls for service. That trend has continued into the first three months of 2012. Deputy Chief of Police Daryl Longworth says the higher service calls show the public's trust in the police. "It demonstrates a willingness of the community to call on the police when they need help. If they don't think anyone is going to respond or if they don't think anyone is going to respond in a timely manner or give any care and concern, I think your calls for service would go down. But the fact that the community places faith and trust in the fact that when they call police someone is going to come, I think your calls for service are going to go up." The latest stats show a lot more charges are being laid for traffic violations. 352 charges had been handed out by the end of March, compared to 246 for the same time period last year.
