CENTRAL DISTRICT NEWSLETTER


Captain’s Message
The Broadway Corridor is still a priority concern. I will continually staff Broadway accordingly with uniformed foot patrol, vehicle patrol, plainclothes officers and various specialized units. Broadway business owners and management have also been working diligently on policing their respective businesses. Some of the businesses have installed security cameras and new computer systems that track each patron upon entry into these establishments. This will enable the businesses to identify problem persons and refuse entry to these persons in the future.

At this time, no arrests have been made. The matter is under investigation and physical evidence recovered at the scene will aid in the investigation.
