Call to Order
BPD Southern District – Sgt. Rivera & Ofc. Washington
- Year-over-year stats given
- Improvements in most areas
- Worst stat for this area is the Larceny category (Porch Pirates in particular)

footage – tell Ofc to send you a link that you can upload w/the evidence – that
will go into the report
- Larceny Call Pilot program – Eastern District
- Southern District ride-along will show how deal with issues
- Entertainment Unit District
- Mike: neighbor victim of attempted carjacking on Ostend St – Sunday morning –
unsure if that’s only occurrence (05:30 – Sunday AM) – Sgt. Rivera to follow up –
