Crime reports for the month of August are below. After last month’s whopping crime wave, we asked our Extended Neighborhood Patrol officer to add an additional 5-hour patrol shift each week for a month or so. This is in addition to the normal 10 hours he patrols. We do not have enough members at this time to maintain that level year round, but things are getting back to normal.

Lowest Greenville Planned Development
Councilmembers Angela Hunt brought her proposed Lowest Greenville planned development (PD) district to residents of the Lower Greenville area on Thursday, July 29. At the community meeting Angela, along with other city representatives, and area neighborhood associations outlined the strategy for making Lowest Greenville (Belmont to Bryan) more neighborhood friendly by reducing crime in the area.
