Odd calls last week required some relationship counseling and animal attention.
The Greenfield Police Department does a heck of a lot more than arrest people for stealing baby formula or shooting heroin. Officers often get their share of wacky and weird as well. For example, a man in the 3100 block of West Bottsford Avenue called police just after midnight May 19 seeking a reason as to why his live-in girlfriend had gone to Chicago with another man. The man was told to ask his girlfriend when she returned home. That same day, police had to warn a 10-year-old boy about growling at a neighbor’s dog after a woman reported the boy taunted her dog while she was out walking it in the 4000 block of South 65th Street. The dog acted up, dragged her to the ground and the woman injured her knee. And finally, a resident in the …

The two departments earned a total of three awards at a ceremony that highlights significant efforts in emergency medical service.
In late April, a guest of Greenfield Police Captain Dave Patrick went unresponsive in the basement of Patrick’s Greenfield home. The guest is alive thanks to the teamwork of the Greenfield police and fire departments. When he discovered his guest had become unresponsive and pulseless, Patrick immediately began CPR, and directed others at the home to continue CPR while he called for advanced cardiac life support help. He also called for a Greenfield police squad to bring an automated external defibrillator. Officers shocked the guest as soon as they arrived, minutes before Greenfield paramedics came to assume care of the patient. The patient was eventually transported to the hospital and survived. “The Greenfield Police and Fire Departments…

But the witness who called in the incident also gave police a false name and was arrested for obstructing. And the victim refused to cooperate.
Police were told a man pointed a gun at two women and hit one of them repeatedly with it. But when police needed more information for their investigation, one woman gave police a false name and the other refused to cooperate. The man may have robbed an apartment in the 6400 block of West Norwich Avenue before 5:30 am. May 6, according to the Greenfield Police Department report. At least, that's what the caller told officers. The apartment renter told police a friend of hers, who had been staying with her, got a visitor at around 5:20 a.m. and her friend let the man, whom she described as her brother’s friend, into the apartment. After the apartment’s renter went back to bed, she told police she heard her friend scream repeatedly. The woman…

The doctor…

Police responded to George Webb, 4845 W. Forest Home Ave., after receiving a call at approximately 2 a.m. May 9 from an employee who said she saw a man masturbating outside the restaurant’s window.
