South Bend Chocolate Annexation Area 8 B. Police Department The Annexation Area would be added to the existing Beat 24. Police patrols and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to this area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small additional area on this beat. At this time, it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase significantly, and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond the existing beat patrol. The addition of this Annexation Area will not significantly increase response time within the beat. The cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. The patrol costs would be assumed by the Police Department budget. However, this area, as well as all other areas of the City, will continually be monitored for level of service demands and other criteria that would necessitate additional resources through budgetary increases or possible shifting of existing resources, such as a beat restructure. Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable with that found in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation. Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.
