The department is 98% staffed across all areas, with both civilian and first responder positions. The department needs to fill one more dispatcher position to be fully-staffed.
The report also shared upgrades and changes to the PSD.
There are new police units that are replacing old 2015 units. These vehicles are more fuel efficient, saving almost $9,000 a year in fuel costs by the department.
"We upgraded several fire tools that needed replacement (airbags, struts, generators, etc). Many of the replaced tools were over 30 years old, so we are happy to have these tools to enhance our operational efficiency!" the report said.
The report also introduced the First Responder Wellness Program, which allows any Woodway PSD first responder to meet anonymously with a mental health professional for free.
Goals outlined in the report for 2026 include:
- Become fully staffed in our Communications department
- Continue to look for innovative and cost-effective ways to decrease crime
- Increase community involvement through community events
- Continue to come in below budget
