WOODSTOCK - The Woodstock Police Service has received more calls for service this year compared to 2015.
So far this year the service has received 13,503 calls, and the number of calls has been higher each month compared to the year before.
Deputy Chief Darren Sweazey says they can't pinpoint a specific reason for the rise in calls.

Sweazey tells Heart FM how Woodstock Police use this information to their advantage.
"By reviewing the statistics and stuff like that it can help you plan for strategizing for in terms of personnel deployment and stuff like that throughout the city in key times, places, etcetera."
