Today’s Good News

In early March, Second Precinct Officer Stanley Sutton noticed a spike of car break-ins in the area of Semmes and Forest Hill avenues. He coordinated efforts with another officer and set up a high visibility patrol presence in that area during the evening hours and other times of the crime spikes. He also met with a local business owner and in less than a month, the spike had dropped to just one reported car break-in. One of the area’s longtime residents called to commend Officer Sutton’s efforts. “I have lived here for years and it has never been this quiet,” he said. “Thank you!”
