  Officers responded to welfare checks (all subjects found safe), reports of disturbances including one resulting in a criminal trespass and indecent exposure charge, agency assists, a 911 hang-up (determined safe), and an incident involving possible ingestion of cleaner requiring an ambulance.
• Other Noteworthy Incidents:
  • A counterfeit $100 bill was collected.
  • Ongoing littering issues at harbor dumpsters and trash overflow.
  • Civil dispute at a boatyard and patrol requests for ongoing dumping of trash for birds.
