CEOs investigated and confirmed a storm drain at the site was not properly protected and allowed debris to enter the storm drain system. CEOs issued the property owner a Code Violation Notice directing the contractor to immediately correct the deficiency. The Code Enforcement Unit continues to monitor the appearance of properties in the gated community to ensure compliance with applicable codes. CEOs discovered overgrown vegetation at a property on the 100 Block of Bal Cross Drive and issued a Code Violation Warning. CEOs will return to the area to ensure the matter is properly resolved. Cr i m i n al In v e st i g at i o n s The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) and the Chief’s Office represented the police department at the Autism Society of Greater Orlando’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Orlando, Florida. Chief Flowers and the Bal Harbour Police Department were recognized for continued support of Autism training pro grams for police officers throughout the State of Florida. Detective Gonzalez is an accomplished Autism Awareness instructor and teams with ASGO to provide training to police officers at all rank levels. Detective Gonzalez participated in the Surf-Bal-Bay Night Out event and used the opportunity to distribute information about Autism to the community. The CID assisted the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Special Victims Unit during an investigation of an alleged domestic sexual assault that occurred earlier in the month. The investigation led to the suspect’s arrest. Detectives will continue to assist MDPD as the case moves to the prosecution phase. Detectives met with security personnel at a beachside hotel in search for clues to the defacing of the hotel’s signs. Video footage was not available, but detectives issued flyers to other police agencies requesting any information that could help identify the suspects involved in the case.

An exclusionary swim zone buoy was recovered and secured with the assistance of Public Works. Notifications were made to have the buoy placed back in its proper location. The BSO encountered 3 dogs on the beach, the owners were informed of the ordinance prohibiting dogs on the beach and removed the dogs. 1 0 /2 3 /2 0 2 1 Su sp i ci o u s I n ci d e n t 5 0 0 Bl o ck o f 9 6 St r e e t A Bal Harbour police officer observed a male taking photos/videos in the direction of Young Israel.
