Weekly Summary Report
Memorial Day Weekend Holiday Detail Summary Report
The Bal Harbour Police Department executed an operational plan developed to address issues associated with the
Memorial Day Weekend Holiday. The most common issues which impact the entire nation are traffic crash injuries
and deaths as well as driving while intoxicated. The National Highway Safety Administration also conducts the National
"Click it or Ticket" campaign promoting safety belt usage in which the Bal Harbour Village Police Department proudly
participates.
The operational plan called for increased patrols in the gated community, on our beach, and on all traffic corridors by
augmenting the normal patrol squad. The added officers were tasked with conducting proactive Code/Traffic
enforcement and quality of life issues. The detail also included a contingent of officers assigned to a crime suppression
detail which focused on combating crimes and perpetrators that have recently affected the region. The Bal Harbour
Criminal Investigations Section, working in conjunction with area agencies, compiled a comprehensive informational
flyer listing over two dozen individuals who have been identified as the most active offenders targeting our communities.
In addition, our agency maintained constant communications with the Miami Dade County Police task force assigned
to the Haulover Area.
The Bal Harbour Village initiative resulted in, 63 calls for service, 5 arrests and 169 combined citations/warnings issued
for traffic related contacts. Additionally, an alert Bal Harbour Village police supervisor spotted an individual on the most
active flyer as the subject traveled to the Surfside CVS Store. The person was surveilled until he left the jurisdictional
boundaries of Bal Harbour Village. For tracking purposes, the neighboring agencies were notified including all of our
personnel regarding the sighting of this individual.
The Bal Harbour Village Police Marine Patrol provided proactive ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) and Bal Harbour Beach
patrols which netted, 31 Stops, 31 contacts and 27 combined citations and warnings. The Marine Patrol boat also
assisted the City of Miami Beach Police Department on Saturday and Sunday with security of the National Salute to
our Heroes, Air and Sea Show.
