The listed units will conduct on-going operations that will target the following areas of concern:
Juvenile crimes to include curfew violations
Burglaries to include auto and home

CID will also target high profile registered sex offenders in the city to ensure that they are in compliance with all laws and conditions of probation and registration.
Gang Unit
The Gang Unit will look to reduce crime committed by gang members by ensuring that all gangs that are currently on the injunction list are in compliance with the conditions of the order. In addition to these efforts the Gang Unit will also look to impact gang crimes by:
