Code Enforcement directed the site supervisor to allow only one large truck to enter the Village at a given time in order to prevent road blockage. The site supervisor complied and staged the trucks outside of Bal Harbour Village. A property owner along Camden Drive received a Code Violation Notice after repeatedly leaving garbage cans visible from the curb. The Code Enforcement Unit continues to monitor early -morning construction noises from sites at the Bal Harbour Shops. The Unit found no violations during the week and received no complaints from the community. Criminal Investigations As a result of sharing case information with neighboring agencies, the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) received notice from a neighboring jurisdiction that they had identified a suspect in a Bal Harbour fraud case. The incident involved a retailer at the Bal Harbour Shops and was linked by the US Secret Service to other fraud cases throughout the state. At their request, the case was closed in Bal Harbour and transferred to the USSS for further investigation and prosecution. The CID is working with the Records Unit in updating Uniform Crime Reporting cases from 2021 to meet the standards of the National Incident Based Reporting System adopted by FDLE and the FBI. The move from UCR to NIBRS is expected to produce a more accurate crime reporting system. Detectives conducted interviews with neighbors for two police applicants as part of a background investigation. Detectives also visited the applicants' current employer to review personnel files. Police background investigations are detailed in nature to ensure applicants meet FDLE standards.
