• The Little Haiti Neighborhood Resource Officers
(NROs) participated in a hurricane relief effort for
the people of Haiti following the devastation of
four consecutive hurricanes over the island. The
two NROs reached out to business owners and
good Samaritans in the North District and received
contributions for the cause. Over 50,000 pounds
of food and goods were shipped and distributed to
the people of Haiti.
• In October, a Park and Walk operation was implemented in Upper
Eastside especially along Biscayne Boulevard, due to an increase in
criminal activities within the area. Positive results were obvious and
immediate. Following the implementation, the number of robberies was
significantly reduced from an average of 12 to 7 robberies a month,
with November showing the greatest reduction with only 3 robberies
recorded.
• Through several sources, officers were made aware of outside drug
groups attempting to set up business in Liberty Square. There were
several cars identified as involved in criminal activity, registered in Opa-
Locka, Miami Gardens and to various car rental agencies. Officers
worked with the site manager and this resulted in the towing of cars
that were used to hide and distribute narcotics. The detail resulted in
20 vehicles towed, 32 ticketed and 11 arrests. |
