In a recent government meeting, Lieutenant overseeing the Fremont substation provided an update on law enforcement activities and community engagement efforts in various wards. The lieutenant reported a slight increase in crime statistics, particularly in areas outside Ward 4, attributing this rise to intensified saturation activities by swing and night shift officers. Key issues highlighted included ongoing problems at Levitt Park, Rafael Rivera, and Lorenzi, primarily involving park violations, warrants, and trespassing.

The meeting also discussed the deployment of three trailer cameras in strategic locations, including Doolittle Park and the Darling Tennis Center, to monitor and deter criminal activity, particularly copper theft. The lieutenant noted that these cameras have been effective, with local businesses reporting a positive impact.

Community-oriented policing events are scheduled for September and October, including a \"Trunk or Treat\" event for Halloween, aimed at fostering relationships between law enforcement and the community.

Significant arrests were reported, including one incident at Becker Park where officers arrested a female with a BB gun and a knife, and a male companion found with methamphetamine. Another arrest involved a man living out of an unregistered vehicle at Baker Park, who was found with a sword and multiple BB guns. At Justice Levitt Park, officers discovered a ghost gun during a routine check.

Commissioners raised concerns about illegal parking at Buckskin Basin and the presence of RVs camping overnight in parks. The lieutenant assured that officers are actively monitoring these issues and emphasized that overnight camping is not permitted in city parks. He encouraged citizens to report any violations to ensure prompt action.

Overall, the meeting underscored the department's commitment to maintaining safety in public spaces while engaging with the community through proactive policing and outreach initiatives.
