Tuesday's three-way tie: welfare, property, and mischief

Yesterday's 29 incidents leaned toward service and enforcement rather than emergency response. Welfare and behavioral health calls required crisis intervention and referrals, while theft reports—concentrated at Bellis Fair—produced four arrests. The malicious category captured friction and disputes that stayed below the assault threshold, and investigation work included a lost-child call that resolved quickly.

Tonight and tomorrow will likely echo yesterday's evening pattern: expect retail activity to pick up after 5 PM, particularly around Bellis Fair and Meridian corridor stores. Welfare calls may cluster in the Lettered Streets and WWU neighborhoods during late afternoon and evening hours. If you're out shopping or dining tonight, the 7–9 PM window saw the most activity yesterday, so plan accordingly for parking and foot traffic.

The three-way tie at the top reflects a day split between human services, property protection, and order maintenance. Welfare calls—ranging from behavioral health contacts to suicide threats—required crisis response and referral work. Theft incidents leaned heavily on retail enforcement, with four of five tied to commercial locations. The malicious category captured domestic disputes, trouble-with-a-person reports, and neighborhood friction that didn't escalate to violence.

Cornwall Park's six incidents were almost entirely retail-driven: three shoplifts, two burglaries, and a warrant arrest, all at Bellis Fair. Lettered Streets saw a mix of welfare checks, a court-order violation, and early-morning trouble calls. Birchwood's five reports spanned residential burglary, retail theft on Meridian, and a domestic dispute over a rental vehicle. WWU contributed behavioral health and domestic calls, while Roosevelt handled welfare checks and a traffic arrest for driving with a suspended license.

Yesterday built gradually from a quiet morning into an evening surge.

The day opened with a 4 AM trouble call on King Street, then saw a three-incident cluster between 5 AM and 7 AM—behavioral health, suspicious circumstances, and a domestic dispute in Birchwood. Activity stayed modest through midday, then climbed steadily after 5 PM. The peak arrived at 8 PM with four calls, including a Bellis Fair shoplifting arrest and a civil case in Sunnyland. The 7–9 PM window accounted for six incidents, more than any other two-hour stretch.
