Chief Wu presented the Belvedere Police Department’s first quarter 2025 summary and key enforcement data. During the quarter the department logged 1,454 incidents, including 4 Part‑1 and 4 Part‑2 offenses highlighted in the report; the chief said officers made 23 RIPA contacts (18 officer‑initiated and 5 from calls for service), resulting in 4 detentions, 20 warnings, 2 citations and 1 arrest.
Chief Wu said many entries in the incident count reflect officer‑initiated proactive activity rather than only dispatched calls and outlined recent policy updates and training. Council members asked for clarification of the officer‑initiated vs. calls‑for‑service split and whether coyote sightings are tracked; Wu said he will include coyote reporting in the next quarterly report if appropriate. The chief also described adoption of a small number of updated policies required by law and noted continuing community engagement work.
