The information contained in my blog is derived from notes provided by MPD Officers-In-Charge (OIC) at the end of their shifts. Most narratives represent early and preliminary information that was gathered by an OIC from those in the field who were actively working cases. The OIC is sharing what they were being told, in the moment. In many instances, facts and circumstances, even the type of crime listed, can change as officers, detectives and investigators continue their work.
From 6:00 a.m. on 06/22/2019 through 6:00 a.m. on 06/23/2019, MPD received 486 calls for service. This number does not include parking complaints or 911 misdials. For purposes of clarification, the following abbreviations are short-hand for race designations: W=White, AA=African American, NA=Native American, H=Hispanic, ME=Middle Eastern, A=Asian, MR=Mixed Race, U=Unknown. MPD shifts are staggered as follows: 1st detail=7 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2nd detail=12 p.m. to 8 p.m., 3rd detail=3 p.m. to 11 p.m., 4th detail=8 p.m. to 4 a.m., 5th detail=11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
To further break down the 486 calls for service for the past 24-hours, this is how the calls came in per district: Central (114), East (91), Midtown (56), North (50), South (37), West (67), and Other (71). Other=these are calls for service that either do not have a sector listed or the sector is not in the City. For example, if one of our officers assists another law enforcement agency, their sector is not listed in our districts so therefore it is listed under "other".
*** Priority only from 4:20 a.m. to 7:37 a.m. due to resource-intensive calls.
NORTH: Theft from Auto –4:34 p.m. A caller reported that their handgun had been stolen from their unlocked vehicle in the parking lot of Anytime Fitness, 1193 N.

11) WEST: Disturbance/Adult Arrested Person – 2:48 a.m. MPD officers were sent to the 7000 block of Flower Ln. for loud noise stemming from a party. Owing to sounds of a disturbance from inside one of the apartments, officers forced entry in order to check the welfare of those inside. Subsequent information was developed in which a suspect (30 year-old AAM) was identified as having been involved in a fight and acting belligerently toward others. As officers attempted to make contact with this suspect, he was uncooperative and resistive, and an electronic control device (ECD) was deployed. Although the ECD was not responsible for any injuries, officers did convey the suspect to a local hospital for injuries that had been sustained from the fight. By the time this investigation was completed, officers also recovered a stolen firearm, linked to the suspect. The suspect also lied to the officers about his identity. The suspect, once medically cleared, was charged with possession of a stolen firearm, disorderly conduct, resisting an officer, and obstructing an officer. Once his true identity was known at the jail, it was revealed that the suspect also had a warrant for his arrest for failure to pay child support. Incident Report on MPD's website completed. Investigation continuing.
