Throughout the week, officers conducted increased patrols and traffic enforcement in school zones as students returned to class. Several citations were issued for speeding and failure to yield to pedestrians.
The police department also reported progress in an ongoing investigation into a series of commercial burglaries targeting small businesses in the Broadway corridor. Detectives believe the incidents may be connected and are pursuing several leads.
Authorities noted a slight uptick in property crimes compared to the previous week, particularly vehicle break-ins and shoplifting incidents. However, violent crime rates remained relatively stable.
