WOODSTOCK - The Chief of Woodstock Police has presented the services Annual Report for 2015 to council.

According to the report, the Friendly City saw a 12% decrease in domestic violence reports and a 17% reduction in reported violent crimes. Nearly 700 reports of phone frauds also caused a 37% increase in property offences.
