the results of eight weeks of an eight-week plan aimed at addressing crime and the unsafe

proactive enforcement measures throughout the ADCD and include the following:

our Specialized Units and Investigations Division, that wíll be specifically deployed
during the ADCD on peak days, and hours, to address crime and COVID related
issues.
• MBPD Command Staff will also be worked into the midnight shift hours and be there
to provide additional leadership and guidance.
The following is the final update on the last eight-week totals for the ADCD Safe initiative:

week period, an increase of twenty-four (24) arrests from Week 7.
