VIII. REPORTS
1. Santa Clara County Fire Department
No report provided and Battalion Chief Daron Pisciotta is absent.
2. Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office
Lieutenant Morrissey from the Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office provided the monthly status
report in Captain Binder's absence (vacation). After a quick review of the statistical data, Lieutenant
Morrissey noted a sharp increase in the amount of vehicle burglaries in the City. He speculated that
the increase could be related to a "ring" of perpetrators targeting the western portion of Santa Clara
County. It appears the majority of the burglaries are occurring in the Vallco Shopping Center and
Whole Foods Market parking lots. Lieutenant Morrissey stated the deputies assigned to the West
Valley Patrol Division have been directed to increase the amount of"patrol checks" they conduct in
the impacted area. Finally, detectives and the patrol deputies will be working with the Crime
Analyst assigned to the West Valley Patrol Division to see if there is a pattern that will make
enforcement more effective and possibly lead to the apprehension of the suspect(s).
Finally, Lieutenant Morrissey thanks the PSC and Mr. Boleda for coordinating and operating such a
successful Fourth of July event, which helped to make the job of law enforcement much easier.
