Officer Gayle Petty has been on vacation for the past week,  but returns to work as Lead Officer for District 1 on Tuesday afternoon, November 17th.

It was reported in this blog that criminal activity on the Hill during mid-October had increased significantly.  Specifically, there was an increase in motor vehicles breakins and home breakins.  Officer Petty said recently that the number of motor vehicle breakins had decreased before she left for vacation, although she hans’t received any recent updates.

MHN will followup on this subject later.  For more background information on the subject, please see Post # 314 on October 29, 2009.
