Beach escorts are required for all vendors accessing the hardpack to ensure the areas are not blocked and the delivery vehicle drive cautiously. Code Enforcement Officers (CEOs) assisted patrol officers with various traffic details. This collaboration helps maintain officers' availability for calls for service. CEOs issued a verbal warning to the driver of an ATV riding along the hardpack. The driver and his daughter (passenger) were informed of Village restrictions against motorized vehicles on the hardpack. The driver promptly complied with requests to remove the vehicle from the hardpack. CEOs assisted with traffic on election day and with hurricane preparedness functions as Hurricane Nicole approached the coast of Florida. CEOs routinely visit construction sites ahead of approaching storms to ensure each is properly secured for the weather event. Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations. Division (CID) continues its background investigation process for two police applicants. As their individual work histories and references are examined, the applicants are also scheduled for required testing. Detectives closed two cases of retail theft occurring at the same store in the Bal Harbour Shops. In both cases, suspects removed handbags from the store and fled before paying. The items were valued at approximately $1,800.00. Detectives reviewed video footage from three other retail theft cases occurring at retailers in the Bal Harbour Shops. Images from the footage were used to create need -to -identify flyers which were then distributed to neighboring police agencies. Detectives from different jurisdictions share theft data in efforts to identify the suspects involved in their respective cases.
