Yesterday's entirely non-violent slate showcased Bellingham at its most cooperative, with officers handling mostly paperwork and civil matters rather than crimes in progress. The geographic spread touched five neighborhoods but concentrated downtown, where four of eleven incidents occurred.
Looking at today, expect typical Monday morning energy as businesses reopen and discover any weekend issues. The calm Sunday suggests no brewing tensions heading into the work week, though downtown merchants should complete their usual Monday security checks given yesterday's trespass authorizations on Prospect Street.

Yesterday's mix leaned heavily toward administrative matters, with civil cases, service of papers, and agency assists making up over half the day's work. The three investigations all involved suspicious circumstances, suggesting residents stayed vigilant without any actual crimes materializing. Two trespass authorization letters rounded out the picture—routine paperwork that helps businesses manage their properties.
The Lettered Streets corridor absorbed most of yesterday's administrative load, including both trespass letters at Prospect Street and an extortion report on Grand Avenue. Cornwall Park's two suspicious circumstance calls came within an hour of each other on West Maplewood Avenue, while Roosevelt dealt with civil matters. This distribution reflects typical Sunday patterns: downtown paperwork, residential vigilance, and minimal retail activity.
