After park complaints, moderator directs police to boost patrols
Summary
A resident raised concerns about disturbances at a neighborhood park; the meeting moderator said officers patrol district parks in summer and committed to issue a 'direct to patrol' order for the area the next day to increase visibility and monitoring.
A resident described frequent disturbances at a local park and asked whether the city could increase patrols. The Moderator acknowledged park issues and said officers assigned to the district patrol parks but are not dedicated to a single park full-time. “We can put a direct to patrol for the officers to make sure that they watch the parks,” the Moderator said, and promised to issue that directive the following day.
The Moderator noted summertime increases in late-night activity and said the department will increase visible presence in the named neighborhood to monitor for noise, drinking and other disturbances. The action was framed as a targeted, short-term operational step rather than a formal policy change; no vote or additional funding was discussed. Residents thanked the Moderator and staff for the response and were told to continue reporting park issues through dispatch or the app.
