Please be as specific as
On August 30, 2010, Officer Colleen Stanich investigated a report of a homeless
male chasing a student from Central Elementary School. Officer Stanich
discovered the suspect was part of a group of transients living on the streets in the
area of E.8th Street and Highland Avenue. Officer Stanich also found these
transients were responsible for a large number of calls to the police department as
well as causing the area businesses to suffer. Officer Stanich initiated a project to
fix the problem.
Officer Stanich spearheaded a team comprised of business owners, personnel
from other City Departments, as well as fellow officers. Officer Stanich also
employed "Crime Prevention through Environmental Design" techniques and her
experiences as a former business owner to solve the problem.
As a result, calls for service to the police department have dropped over 70% in
this area, and the area business owners have expressed their sincere gratitude.
