The contractor failed to properly install silt screens around the property in violation of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) protocols. All contractors are required to file and adhere to a NPDES plan to ensure the Village storm water systems are protected against contaminants. A residence under construction on the 100 block of Bal Bay Drive was issued a Code Violation Warning after Code Enforcement Officers discovered its site screen was in disrepair. The notice directed the homeowner to repair/replace the screening so it meets the Village’s appearance standards. Code Enforcement Officers (CEOs) continue their patrols of the Bal Harbour Shops construction areas on a daily basis to ensure they remain in compliance with Village noise ordinances. Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is supporting the Patrol Division in a Village-wide traffic enforcement initiative. Detectives are setting aside two hours each day to increase police visibility and enhance traffic enforcement efforts. The CID is following up on several retail theft cases affecting retailers at the Bal Harbour Shops. Of the three cases investigated, two involved the theft of purses and the third involved several items of clothing. In each case, detectives sought video footage to assist in identifying the suspects. Investigators made personal contact with management at each store and obtained video from two locations. The first video did not depict the reported theft. The second video captured the suspect’s actions but the s uspect used facial coverings to conceal his identity. Detectives used still images from the video to create Need-to- Identify flyers. Detectives are working with neighboring jurisdictions in an effort to identify persons involved in retail thefts. The CID has been assisting a Bal Harbour resident whose business fell victim to check fraud. Detectives were able to confirm fraudulent checks were cashed against the victim’s bank account at a Chase bank location outside of Bal Harbour. Detectives contacted the bank where the Victim’s accounts reside and informed bank investigators of their findings. The Victim has yet to file a claim with his host bank. The case was closed in Bal Harbour since the alleged crime occurred outside of Bal Harbour jurisdiction. The CID is assisting Police Administration in the on-boarding of two recently hired police officers. Detectives are providing training in the use of databases, issuing identification cards, and ensuring required FDLE employment documents are properly filed.
