Sometimes record for drug addiction and so forth. So i think that what happens is when we feel the need or they have some drug binge they will go out and conduct as many breakins in the evening or two days that they can to sell items i know that you have had the discussion with chief loftus before and one of the things that we are trying to do all citywide is to identify those individuals because if we know we need two things and if we can arrest them so it is not always the best solution and they are off the street and unable to commit the crimes and i am concerned that it is a bigger umbrella picture of trying to deal with those addictions to not necessarily through the arrest, trying to get them some other way that they can get, some help with the criminal dependency, and that becomes a Mental Health issue which is another large subject that the city deals with and however we deal with it, whether it is through making arrests or through, giving in the help that they need through the
So i want to ask about a couple of things, you mentioned captain that used to have 7 beats before. To ask, how you deploy those two beats and how to decide where to put them and when. There were seven beats that were in the Northern District, back in 2009, and 2010, the two beats on the officers that were on the beats, that were on the beats in 2008, 2009. Some of the beats that got discontinued were officers that left because they either retired or went to other location and we didnt have the staffing to fill those. The current beats, that we do deploy, are in the commercial areas where there is a lot of foot traffic and businesses restaurants and so forth. There are five very important ones that currently that i dont have a deed on that i think as deserving as the ones that we currently have. We need one in japan town because i get concerns from them we need one in the lower haze and hate street area and i promised that we would address that. There is ones on polk street and the fill
Because there are great resources goned what we gave you in as part as police services. Thank you, commission, thank you for the opportunity to present tonight and to come to the district and it has been a great time and look forward to talking to each of you individually. Thank you very much. It is time for the commissioners to ask the questions, if they have any questions for the captain. We have heard a lot about the traffic concerns, i think that we solved the citys budget problems by putting a motorcycle officer and it is discretion if you are driving a range rove, and texting at the same time. We need to have traffic enforce i think that pat brought that up. It is is amazing that the arena boulevard and a little more traffic and i am speaking as a citizen that would be greatly appreciated. One of the things that i do a bi weekly newsletter that i would love to have any of you that are not on it get put on the newsletter and i also do as a said an article in the marina times and o
Webster and i would like to have enforcement. What we do is we take the individual problems and corners and intersections and i tell the sergeant who does the Traffic Enforcement that this month we want to address this issue at a specific enforcement project and we educate the officers. We know the major ones, it is one that we deal with all of the time and we have enforcement but the little ones i want to know about. And we are hearing about the issues and the homeless issues and and i have to tell you as a commission, these are problems but i want to share with you that we have meetings in other districts. The last time was the lady of visitation and we were there and the eight homicides in three weeks. And these are issues to you but the Police Department has to address other issues i just want to put that out there, these are concerns but it is actually the pleasure to be here to know that these are lower level concerns. Commissioners . Commissioner chan . Sure, thank you. It is th
