SPD Changing Patrol Boundaries

From the SPD Blotter blog: “Beginning January 28^th, the department will increase the number of patrols squads and sergeants at each of SPD’s five precincts, improving each precinct’s officer-to-supervisor ratio. This will enable supervisors to work more closely with officers, providing guidance in investigations, reviewing use of force, and ensuring quality of public service.”

The SPD is making numerous changes to the boundaries of the patrol beats. One can’t tell from the map what the street boundaries are for our area, so as soon as we see a more detailed map, we’ll publish it. It may mean those of us who monitor activity via Tweets by Beat will want to subscribe to a different beat.
