The October dispatch log shows substantial motor vehicle enforcement activity, particularly along NH Route 12, Main Street, and Killeen Street. Traffic stops occurred throughout the month, with several concentrated periods of enforcement.

The report also documents ambulance calls, citizen assistance, suspicious activity investigations, motor vehicle accidents, alarms, and other police services.

The following traffic-stop analysis groups intersections and nearby locations under their principal road to provide a clearer picture of enforcement activity.

NH Route 12 accounted for approximately 61% of identified traffic stops. Main Street was the second most frequent location. Together, these two roads accounted for approximately 75% of the stops.
