Runaway Juvenile Ordinance Officer Shawn Carter has been working with the City Attorney’s Office in reference to a city ordinance being adopted in reference to runaway juveniles. The ordinance would assist law enforcement and parents in reducing the number of juveniles that runaway by making it a referable offense.
Crime Statistics Detective Jon McInnes is working on tracking current crimes that are occurring in CAT 1 and 3 and making sure the CAT 1 and 3 officers are aware of them. This will hopefully assist us in being more proactive in reducing common crimes occurring in CAT 1 and 3.
