Captain's Report: Cpt. McDowell continues to be pleased with year-to-date stats on
violent crime for the 3rd District
due to a 16% decrease generally. Rapes,
unfortunately, have increased, assailants were known to their victims and
could be
readily identified.
Criminal activity for August was made available by the Captain and in print;
copies
were handed out at the HEC meeting this date.
Family Day Review: A review of the August 8 event
was discussed. The day could not
have gone much better. Officers and residents showed up with their children;
ethnic
performances, a DJ, a string band, games for prizes, and food rounded out the
day--all at no cost to the
families.
Officer "Ace" Delgado was honored for his tireless efforts in pulling the whole
thing together. To show our appreciation, Officer Delgado was awarded a $100 gift
certificate from the Advisory Council.
Thanks to all who made it a perfect day! Our next Family Day event is scheduled for
2011.
