Factors such as a reduction in citizen complaints and a drop in related crimes such as robberies, burglaries and larcenies could be used to determine the effectiveness of the program. ■ Areas of enforcement to be targeted first will be Grand Avenue from Mc Donald Street west to Douglas Road.

Page 1 of 2 69 Rain Aft Published Sunday, June 28. 1998. in the Miami Herald Ip Police respond to calls for greater presence in Grove BY YOLANDA BALIDO Herald Staff Writer David White is no longer surprised when he sees daylight, street -corner drug sales in the West Grove. "It's everywhere," says White, 67, who grew up in the predominantly black neighborhood. "You see guys on the comers, then a car comes by, slows down and the guys give them a little package." White just locks his doors, rolls up his windows and steps on the gas of his blue 1989 Chevy. "There's nothing an ordinary citizen can do," said White, president of the West Coconut Grove Homeowners and Tenants Association. "We need more police enforcement." Grove's Lt. Daniel "Dan" Watkins assigned more officers there after recent complaints, particularly from Miami Commissioner U. Plummer, that drug enforcement was lacking in the West Grove. Watkins is increasing undercover and uniform police patrols. He is using a $20,000 grant from the Miami -Dade County housing authority to put off -duty police near Douglas Road and South Dixie highway 24 hours a day. In the eight days since the program started, police made 20 felony arrests and 14 misdemeanor arrests, he said. "There's been a lot of complaints that were not doing anything as far as drug arrests in the West Grove," Watkins said. "We are making a lot of arrests, we are confiscating a lot of drugs, but unfortunately some don't think that's enough." Only recently did Miami Police start tracking statistics of West Grove crimes. They previously hunped the West with figures from the rest of the Grove, making it difficult to quantify the activity in the West, Watkins said. In April, police made 175 arrests in the West Grove. In March, 101 and in May, 163. "This month, we will make even more arrests," Watkins said. Crack cocaine, marijuana, heroin and sales of other drugs are common on street comers, vacant parcels, parking lots, parks and just about anywhere in the West Grove, Watkins said. The problem filters into other neighborhoods. Drug addi sfronj the West SCA.A • HeraldLink: Police respond t( Us for great... Page 2 of 2 need money to support their habits and commit robberies and burglaries in the East Grove, Coral Gables, and other adjacent areas. Also, the sight of groups of juveniles and men hanging out in street comers intimidates many from entering the West Grove, White said. That is hindering his homeowners' group and other activists in their efforts to hue more business to the West, he said. "If you are a white person and you drive through the Grove, somebody will inevitably come to your car and ask you, 'What you want? " White said. "We are trying to get some business into the community, but people figure it's not safe." Rain CMftht 01998 The Miami Herwld Getting in touch with HERALDIink 14 HeraldLink: Miami police plc crackdown on Page 1 of 2 PublishedSunday,Sunday, July 12, 1998, in the MiamiHemld kzm Miami police pledge crackdown on area BY YOLANDA BALIDO Herald Staff Writer Miami police are adopting a "zero tolerance" policy in the West Grove and will arrest on the spot violators guilty of sitting on stolen milk crates, drug in public, gambling and selling drugs, police officials told a group of West Grove residents last week. The department also is stepping up patrols in the troubled area, a predominantly black neighborhood. "We have done a lot," said Police Chief Donald Warshaw, who also is doing double duty as interim city manager. "But we certainly have a long way to go." Warshaw was among the city officials who met last week with about SO residents to discuss the neighborhood's longtime problems. They told the crowd of their plans to deal with the neighborhood's usual woes: rampant drug sales, crime, joblessness, trash and code violations. Parks Director Albert Ruder and Public Works Director Jim. Kay mentioned things like poor street lighting and problems in Elizabeth Vnrick Park -- now a haven for drug use -- and said they plan to correct them Plans are in the works to renovate Virrick Park, adding landscaping and new facilities. They said the West Grove was a top priority. "I hope they follow through," said David White, president of the West Coconut Grove Homeowners and Tenants Association. "We will be in contact with all of them to get commitments." White said that when some blacks see whites in: the West Grove, they often assume they're looking to buy drugs and don't hesitate to approach their cars and offer drugs. That, coupled with trash -filled streets and dilapidated storefronts, discourages many people from visiting the area, he said. Of these problems, crime is the most serious concern, Commissioner J.L. Phrmmer said. He has been pressuring police to focus more on the neighborhood. Warshaw said the department will have more officers walking the streets and increase undercover surveillances and drug sweeps. Lt. Daniel Watkins said the West Grove is set to get 10 more beat officers. Police are making more arrests, he said. �5 15 Ca R_ "-J HeraldLink: Miami police ple crackdown on ... Page 2 of 2 But arrests aren't the only answer, Warshaw said. He said police arrested a man two weeks ago for possession of cocaine. Then, before the meeting last week, he was arrested on similar charges. "In his pocket," Warshaw said, "he had last week's arrest form" Warshaw said the citys vehicle impoundment program is decreasing drug sales there. The city impounds cars of people accused of doing drug deals in Miami and charges $1,000 to get them back. Watkins asked residents to help by keeping their eyes open and communicating more with police. "We can't do it alone," he said. "We need your help."
