The Westside Regional command is staffed with 116 sworn officers and 3 civilian personnel. Lt. Roberto Ramos is the Acting Commander for the west side region. The WSRC saw an amazing decrease in crime of 11% . This was primarily due to patrol units being proactive and conducting good preliminary investigations. All personnel worked as a team to combat crime and the results speak for themselves. The CID unit was responsible for investigating numerous offenses to include family violence, assaults, criminal mischiefs, white collar crimes, interference with child custody and robberies. For 2015, the CID unit executed over 30 search warrants to include vehicles, residences, and cell phones. The unit was also responsible for over 100 arrests. These arrests resulted in several con- fessions that involved high profile cases. The unit was able to clear 44% of the robberies this year. In 2015, the TAC unit obtained 109 criminal warrants. The arrest of these offenders greatly reduced the Part 1 crimes for the region. A subject targeting Jeep vehicles citywide was identified, and a search warrant was executed on his residence which led to his arrest and the closure of five additional theft cases. A business burglar was taken into custody after he had targeted 4 jewelry stores and was responsible for the theft of over $55,000.00 in property. The TAC unit was responsible for the arrest and subsequent sentencing of several habitual car burglars which greatly reduced the number of vehicle burglaries. These cas- es were strengthened as the TAC unit maintained an aggressive approach and obtained voluntary statements of accused from the offenders. A serial home burglar linked to several home invasion style cases, was also identified and arrested. Part 1 offenses affecting the Westside regional command were greatly reduced through effective investigative efforts and attention to the developing crime patterns.
