An additional equipment officer was selected in December. The second equipment officer will be making an order for 4 additional relief bikes in January.

NPOs have performed numerous hours of monitoring of the panhandling "hotspots", focusing on the Central Business District, 121/Riverside, and 121/Beach. This daily detail has been in place for months. At this point it remains Officer discretion to warn / cite / arrest homeless offenders due to the pandemic.

Central's officers regularly meet with stakeholders and community members, but this was obviously altered due to COVID.  Meetings have been replaced with phone calls, emails, and social distancing conversations.  Crime strategy has continued and planning has continued as well.  Online tools and communication platforms have plugged Code Blue/COPS organizations back into regular communication that used to occur in scheduled meetings. Central has adapted by assisting the community in new ways, such as a parade for a veteran's 100 year birthday coming up.

NPOs participate in "Virtual" Code Blue Meetings facilitated by Shirley Zertuche, and Allison Golden. The past few meetings have had fewer than 10 civilian participants. NPOs have been encouraged to outreach and engage their stakeholders by phone and email as much as possible due to Covid. NPOs also engage their stakeholders utilizing the Nextdoor.com application.

NPOs patrol their areas and look for quality of life issue every week and report them to Code Compliance or the HOPE unit. In addition, beat officers can report information they observe for action as well.  NPOs handle complaints from citizens and other sources and take the appropriate action based upon the specific problem.

COVID has taken away our ability to have large in person meetings. We have adapted by developing our skills at utilizing technology to monitor crime trends and develop a plan of action. New NPO's have been directed to draft special operations details to address crime trends this month. These details were combined with information from the command staff's violent crime meeting to develop a divisional response.

That being said "official" details have been reduced however; Weekly Crime Stat Reports have been sent to Adam District Patrol Sgts to enhance and direct patrol efforts. NPOs continue to monitor violent crime hotspots and trends within their assigned areas. SOF details in Central were discontinued in 10/2020 (funding)

COVID has stalled the ability of NPO's and beat officers to meet with their citizens, however, NPO's have been forced to evaluate electronic methods of information dissemination and collection. While the immediate stalling has been a temporary challenge, the end result will be NPO's that are better at communicating on many platforms, rather than just in person.

Adam NPOs have not attended any meetings due to Covid Pandemic. (Most of our clientele are older and probably more susceptible to being infected.)

Approximately 20 businesses/owners were met with.

COVID has prevented us from having the police sponsored neighborhood meetings. Central has ensured there are no gaps in service delivery by honing our skills to the new normal of webex and zoom meetings until public gatherings are able to be resumed.

NPO's regularly field complaints and actively search out areas of blight. While they have always worked with code compliance on these, the relationship has been further strengthened by partnering with code on the challenge of educating and enforcing state and federal COVID restrictions. This has provided a more direct and regular communication pathway to address other issues, such as blight and conditions conducive to crime.
