(4/25/2006) NEW HAVEN – The Police Department’s Information Driven Neighborhood Enforcement Team (ID-NET) has made more than 3,000 arrests since its inception on 26 February 2006.
According to Lieutenant Peter Reichard, officer in charge, the team members have issued 2,150 motor vehicle infractions, misdemeanors and written warnings, and made 55 infraction arrests. The team has had 317 vehicles towed and issued 207 parking tags. Adult warrant arrests by the team number 140, and 235 adult criminal arrests have been made. In addition, team members have conducted a total of 792 field interviews. ID-NET has been assigned to the Fair Haven neighborhood, then to Dwight-Kensington, then to Newhallville-East Rock and, most recently, to Hill North and Hill South. Last night, they began working in the Newhallville-Dixwell neighborhood.
“Since ID-NET made its appearance in Fair Haven two months ago, the officers have had a tremendous impact on crime in neighborhoods across New Haven. I commend Lieutenant Reichard and his unit for the work they are doing,” said Chief Francisco Ortiz, Jr.
