Crime in Merrillville has gone down, but a new-to-the-police-department method of tackling it has revealed crime is more serious in nature, according to its top cop.
Of the more than 2,000 calls for service the department received for March, 64 arrests have been made; as well, officers made 443 traffic stops, Merrillville Police Chief Kosta Nuses told the Town Council at its March 26 meeting.
“We used to have a lot of criminal mischief in calls and thefts, and those are crimes of low severity with not a lot of danger to the community. But those times have changed,” Nuses said. “Right now, we have detectives working on cases that involve the production of in Merrillville.
The department since 2023 has been implementing “goal-oriented policing,” which sees patrol disseminating the facts they gather daily to the detectives: frequency of crime, the areas and times in which they’re occurring, and all other associations.Stronger ordinances by the town also go a long way toward helping the department clean up crime, he said.
