Lettered Streets led Tuesday's 39 incidents with malicious calls

Malicious incidents and administrative matters dominated yesterday's categories, each accounting for nearly a quarter of all calls. Investigation reports made up another fifth of the day's workload, while welfare checks and theft rounded out the primary concerns facing our officers.

Today's afternoon hours could mirror yesterday's 3 PM surge, so downtown businesses and residents might notice increased police presence. With behavioral health calls clustering in the evening hours yesterday, tonight's dinner-to-bedtime window may see similar welfare check activity, particularly in residential neighborhoods.

Yesterday's even split between malicious incidents and administrative matters (9 each) suggests our officers spent considerable time managing both interpersonal conflicts and paperwork duties. The seven welfare checks remind us that behavioral health remains a consistent community need, while the relatively low theft count offers a small bright spot.

The Lettered Streets saw much of yesterday's malicious activity, including multiple domestic disputes and trespassing incidents. Cornwall Park's Bellis Fair corridor dealt with retail-related troubles, while welfare checks scattered across town from Sunnyland to South Hill. The single assault occurred midday on Chestnut Street, resulting in an arrest.

Yesterday's activity built gradually through the morning before peaking sharply at 3 PM.

The 3 PM hour brought five incidents yesterday, our busiest window, with warrant arrests at Grand Avenue and trouble at both Bellis Fair and Ellis Street. Morning hours between 7 and 10 AM saw steady activity with seven total calls, while the late evening (10-11 PM) brought another surge with behavioral health calls on Kentucky and Holly Streets. The overnight hours stayed relatively calm with just three incidents between midnight and 1 AM.
