ANALYSIS

Please place an item on the January 31, 2024 agenda to discuss recent attempted break-ins and potentially dangerous confrontations between private security guards and suspicious persons in the area of North Bay Road and the Venetian Islands. 

 

I recognize that on-going police investigations are sensitive and confidential and that MBPD is unable to provide details on active cases, and accordingly, I would like for MPBD to address the possibility of enhanced patrolling and/or police coverage in the area, as well as public information efforts to inform residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Police non-emergency number at 305-673-7900 or to call 9-1-1 if immediate attention is required.

 

Finally, I would also like to discuss urging residents on North Bay Rd to form an Neighborhood Association in order to better coordinate neighborhood efforts with MBPD and any other relevant stakeholders.
