It's not unusual to see an uptick in domestic disturbances as the cooler spring transitions to summer.
What is concerning is a trend within some of these calls. Monticello Police Chief Rob Bross on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday told Regional Radio they are seeing an increase in stalking.
According to Chief Bross, in addition to increases in stalking, the department is seeing an increase in domestic calls, something he notes can be typical for this time of the year.
Chief Bross points out, other domestic occurrences they encounter is a dispute that has spilled over from social media, whether it be kids or adults, and they sometimes get called to intervene. He notes law enforcement intervention is not always necessary for those issues.
If you're involved in a domestic violence situation and would like help working through your situation, Chief Bross directs Piatt County residents to contact Willow Tree Missions in Monticello.
