Hello Community Members,

This week is National Volunteer AppreciationWeek.  For the Police Department, we are fortunate to have many greatvolunteers.  The volunteers assigned out of the North Command can be seenweekly patrolling neighborhoods looking for vacant homes needing board ups,abandoned cars needing to be towed, signing off fix it tickets, and addingvisibility to areas that are trending up in crime.  Our volunteers wearwhite shirts with police patches and drive in a white PT Cruiser with policeemblems so if you see them offer them your thanks and ask them how you canbecome a volunteer as well. 

This week’s crime numbers show that we aretrending upward a bit in business robberies and felony assaults.  We aregoing to target those areas that are showing an uptick in robberies withadditional focus to see if more police presence will drive the incidentsdown.  On the felony assaults some of the incidents are attributed to aslight increase of gang activity and the others are connected to robberies. Amongst the areas of focus will be along the Northgate and Del Paso Blvdcorridors. 

We are starting to get nicer weather whichtraditionally means more calls for service and more activity, so stay vigilantin watching out for each other and calling the police on suspiciousactivity. 

            
District 1 (South and North Natomas):

Weare starting to see more gang activity but our Gang Detectives and GangEnforcement Team are actively working on the issue and making some greatarrests.
·        OnApril 16th (Monday), officers responded to a business burglary alarmin the 2600 block of Northgate Blvd.  Officer spotted a vehicle leavingthe area and followed it.  The occupants of the car stopped and ran. One suspect was caught immediately, one subject was caught by K-9, and thethird was not located.  Officers found two flat screen televisions thatwere taken from the business.   Great arrest by Officer Hastingswho has been catching a lot of bad guys the last few weeks.
