“We will often see crimes from another city that may trickle into our city. For example, stolen autos. When someone steals an auto from another city it’s very common for them to enter into another city and steal another car,” said Butler.
He added that by using high-tech cameras capable of reading license plates, officers can be alerted when a stolen car enters their city. And with neighboring agencies able to listen in on police radio conversations, they’re likely to be on alert whether or not the vehicle has entered their own jurisdiction or not.
Fortunately, Independence hasn’t been hit as hard as other communities with stolen vehicles; they’ve seen about two dozen each year recently. “We have not been hit like some of the surrounding communities. It doesn’t mean we couldn’t be, so we prepare for that. We have additional staffing on the road, we up our communication with area departments,” said Butler. “We talk, we pool our resources and we’re going to work hard to bring those people to justice.”
