    The NW Division continues to utilize the Homeless detail with Officer F. Conchas and Officer D. Gomez to help and assist the homeless within the division. The unit is enforcing the criminal activity conducted by some of the homeless as well as providing them with assistance and education on improvement of quality of life. The unit has continued to identify the homeless community and uncover some of the camps that are at times concealed by the various parks. Once a camp site has been discovered, clean up has been addressed on whether it needs it or not. Code is also assisting with removal of these camps once located. The unit has collaborated with the NPOs assigned to the particular beat to ensure that active enforcement and education is being forthcoming. The NPO's are utilizing this unit when checking homeless camps on their beats. We set up a homeless detail with all the NPO's and had code enforcement along with the two homeless officers assist with this detail. We were able to write several citations, make several arrests, and remove some camps that were located. The Northwest NPOS also conducted a homeless detail in Charlie and David. Those that were bike certified were riding the area as well as the non bike certified Officers driving the area addressing the homeless complaints.
