In October, there were 173 calls for service in the City of Manchester. Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) Patrol Operations responded to calls for service, conducted traffic enforcement, and completed criminal investigations in the City of Manchester. The number of calls for service has decreased by 0.8% from this time last year. There were no significant incidents in October in Manchester, but there were two community reports of speeding vehicles.
