WYOMISSING, PA — The Wyomissing Police Department logged a substantial volume of activity in October 2025, according to the monthly report presented to the Wyomissing Borough Council. The department handled 671 calls for service, reflecting a wide range of patrol responsibilities, alleged offenses, and community-based policing efforts.
Commercial districts generated 174 service calls, representing more than a quarter of all activity for the month. Residential communities accounted for 36 calls. Officers dedicated significant time to core responsibilities, including complaint investigations, security checks, follow-up investigations, routine patrols, and school-related details. Additional hours were spent on hearings, training, and public service assignments.
The report highlights the department’s extensive involvement in community programs. Officers participated in Coffee With-A-Cop, homecoming parades, police academy sessions, safety presentations, and canine demonstrations. Several events focused on youth engagement, public safety awareness, and collaborative outreach with schools and community organizations.
Wyomissing officers also worked closely with neighboring police departments, both providing and receiving assistance. Agencies involved included Spring Township, Reading, Bern Township, West Reading, and others. These cooperative efforts supported investigations, patrol operations, security checks, and specialized responses.
The department’s Uniform Crime Reporting data reflects a variety of alleged offenses during October, including fraud, narcotics incidents, sex offenses, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and drunkenness. All individuals connected to these or any other police investigations are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Traffic enforcement and safety monitoring continued throughout the month. Speed studies conducted over multiple days documented average vehicle speeds, traffic volume patterns, and compliance rates. While most drivers fell within normal thresholds, officers identified periods with elevated speeding and increased enforcement where necessary.
In total, 39 UCR-reportable incidents were documented for the month, contributing to a year-to-date total of 387. The department reported a clearance rate of 75 percent, consistent with prior years. Financial totals associated with police operations—including fines, fees, and DUI task force reimbursements—amounted to $14,635.53.
The report, submitted by Chief of Police John G. Phillips, highlights the department’s ongoing focus on public safety, community partnership, and consistent enforcement efforts as the year approaches its close.
