• Operation Restore Stability II, a 30-day anti-drug effort in Coconut
Grove, culminated with 43 arrests. In addition, two warrants
were served which netted three guns, two of which were stolen,
and narcotics were seized. The Crime Suppression Unit further
contributed to the success of the operation by effecting a reverse
drug sting.
• Operation Havana Torch deployed departmental resources to
directly impact narcotic sales, quality of life concerns, gang
activity and abandoned vehicles within Little Havana. This
operation was a collaboration of the District’s Problem Solving
Teams, Neighborhood Resource Officers, and Patrol officers, the
Gang Detail, the Felony Apprehension Team, the Auto Theft Detail
and the Crime Suppression Unit (CSU). NROs towed abandoned
vehicles previously cited. In addition, NROs also checked
abandoned locations for trespassers and enforced quality of
life concerns. Operation Havana Torch was a significant oneday
accomplishment which yielded 83 arrests and recovered a
considerable amount of drugs and weapons.
• Coral Way NROs worked with the Homeless Assistance Program
in providing services to the homeless population in the area. As a
result, the homeless population throughout the Coral Way NET area
declined by 7%.
• The Flagami NET continued to receive a large number of complaints
from residents concerning the increasing numbers of prostitutes on
the streets. As the number of arrests for prostitution-related crimes
continued to increase, it became evident that the prostitution situation
had re-emerged as a serious nuisance. A counter-prostitution effort
and the implementation of a mandatory patrol beat resulted in a
significant reduction in prostitution activity, primarily along West
Flagler and SW 8th Streets. |
