Wednesday's midday cluster - 22 calls, mostly non-violent

With nine malicious incidents leading the categories, yesterday demonstrated how interpersonal conflicts drive much of our police activity—though most remained verbal disputes requiring mediation rather than arrests. The geographic spread hit both Lettered Streets and unclassified Bellingham areas equally, each seeing six incidents.

Today's Thursday rhythm typically mirrors Wednesday's pattern, so expect similar midday activity between 11 AM and 2 PM, particularly around Grand Avenue and the Lettered Streets corridor. Weekend prep might bring slightly elevated afternoon calls tomorrow as the city gears up for Saturday activities.

The malicious category led yesterday's reports with nine incidents, primarily domestic disputes and interpersonal conflicts that required police mediation but thankfully no physical violence in most cases. This distribution reflects the kind of day where officers spent more time de-escalating situations than responding to property crimes.

Lettered Streets saw its share of administrative work with warrant arrests and paper service, while the three theft reports spread across different neighborhoods from morning vehicle prowls on Vallette to afternoon retail issues near Sunset. The single welfare check on Grand Avenue reminds us that behavioral health responses remain a steady part of our public safety landscape.

Yesterday's activity followed a classic workday arc with a morning spike and sustained afternoon presence.

The 9 AM hour saw the day's peak with four incidents, including burglary reports on Cornwall and theft investigations near Sunset Drive. Activity stayed elevated through the lunch hours (12-13), with six calls between noon and 2 PM spanning from Grand Avenue warrant arrests to Woodstock Way disputes. Things quieted considerably after 3 PM, with only scattered calls through the evening until a late-night domestic dispute on Superior Street at 11:07 PM.
