Greetings,

Welcome to the August 2010 issue of the Westover

Division Response Area 3 monthly community letter.

The Westover Division Response Area 3 continues to maintain significant gains in crime reduction for the year.

We are currently at a 44% reduction in violent crime compared to 2009, a 20% reduction in property crime

compared to 2009, and an overall 24% reduction in Part 1 crime compared to 2009. July brought a couple more

larceny from auto cases than in recent months, but we made some fantastic arrests as well which are

highlighted in the following pages. Officers have been working diligently to hold on to the gains we have made

during these active summer months.

I look forward to getting to know more of you as we partner together to fight crime in our neighborhoods.

Best regards

Response Area Commander Jacquelyn Hulsey

Noteworthy Arrests:

During the past month officers in the Response Area have made some outstanding on scene

arrests and developed cases on suspects through post incident investigations. Larceny from

auto if one of the more prevalent crimes we encounter and also one of the hardest to solve or

catch in progress. Very rarely is any workable evidence left at the scene, and the thieves are

typically in and out of a vehicle so fast officers seldom catch them in the act. Recently our

officers have made some outstanding Larceny from Auto cases.

On July 13, 2010, Officer Chris Urrutia (left) was partnered with Officer

Will Henson (pictured below) and the two officers were patrolling the

South Blvd corridor. Officer Urrutia observed a juvenile known to have

been involved in criminal activity in the past. Officer Henson noticed the

juvenile was carrying something. As the officers turned the patrol car

around Officer Henson maintained eye contact and observed the juvenile

throw the item into some bushes. Officers engaged the juvenile in

conversation and questioned him about the item. Officers also located

alcohol on the juvenile and placed him under arrest. Upon further

investigation the two officers were able to locate the tossed item in some

bushes which turned out to be a laptop computer. Officer then traced the

property back to a vehicle that had just been broken into at the Archdale

Light Rail parking lot. Both offices are to be commended for their

alertness and follow through on this investigation.

On July 28, 2010, just after midnight, Officer Henson (left) was patrolling

the Elmsley Grove apartments when he observed a suspicious vehicle

stopped alongside two parked vehicles. Officer Henson approached and

observed two individuals seated inside the vehicle, and a third individual

walking out from in between the two parked vehicles. Officer Henson

detained the individuals and began inquiring as to what they were doing at

such a late hour. Officer Henson then located a fourth individual crouched

down by the front of the parked vehicles. Upon closer inspection of the

parked vehicles Officer Henson noticed both vehicles had their glove

compartments open and the contents strewn about the vehicle. Officer

Henson was able to follow up with the vehicle owners and establish that

the vehicles had been illegally entered. All four suspects were charged

with breaking and entering into these two vehicles and they are currently

being investigated as possible suspects in other near-by vehicle break-in

cases. This is fantastic pro-active police work by Officer Henson.

On July 18, 2010, Officer Molles responded to a commercial burglary call in

the 1100 block of Tyvola Rd. While responding to the burglary call

dispatch was broadcasting B.O.L.O. information for an additional

“suspicious person” call for service in the same area along with a physical

description of the individual. Officer Molles observed an individual

matching the description carrying a large duffle bag walking from the area.

Officer Molles attempted to stop the suspect and the suspect dropped the

duffle bag and ran. Officer Molles chased the suspect on foot and caught

him. Officer Molles located burglary tools on the suspect’s person and

recovered stolen property in the duffle bag belonging to the business on

Tyvola Rd. Officer Molles’ quick response to the scene, his observations,

and foot pursuit skills resulted in a great arrest.

On July 21, 2010, a vehicle was broken into on Ingleside Dr. The reporting

officer called for a C.S.O. Officer and Officer Kiefer (left) responded.

C.S.O. officers are designated crime scene officers who have received

additional training in the evaluation and collection of physical evidence.

Officer Kiefer was able to utilize her skills and training and successfully lift

quality finger prints from the victim’s vehicle along with traces of arm hair.

The finger prints were submitted to the crime laboratory and resulted in a

positive match on a suspect in the national fingerprint database. The suspect

in this case was charged and arrested. A great job was done by Officer

Kiefer.

Home Owner’s Association, H.O.A. President Marty Doss, and all the sponsors and volunteers that

contributed. The Madison Park neighborhood and C.M.P.D. thank the local Target stores for their

generous support of National Night Out.
