We are committed to providing timely, accurate information on incidents, and newsworthy events occurring in our community; to better serve our media outlets, news reporters, and citizens who are interested in receiving information on current events.  

Weekly  staff compiles a brief Daily Activity Summary of case reports written by MLPD Officers within the last week, and we make the most current Summaries available for you to view on-line. 

Normally, the Summary is available by noon on the date it is prepared.  However, on occasions when we need to process a larger volume of reports, it may not be available until later in the day.  The Summary does not include information on traffic tickets; information on reports written by other police agencies; or information on routine police activities that require no official documentation. 

In reading the Summary, please remember that being arrested does not mean that a person is guilty of the charge(s) listed.  All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.  Also, be aware that the charges listed in the Summary are initial offenses as charged by the officer at the time of arrest.  The Prosecutor ultimately decides if charges will be filed in court, and, if so, what they will be.   So, charges actually brought to court by the Prosecutor may differ somewhat from the initial charges you see on the Summary.
