Memo

In a police department’s jurisdiction, there is an area that consists of primarily industrial areas with wide multi-lane roadways. During nights and weekends, there is virtually no activity other than through traffic and nightshift personnel working inside the buildings. Complaints are starting to become regular regarding high-speed vehicles in the area.

Business owners report finding heavy acceleration burnout tire marks, long skid marks, and doughnut­ type skid marks in their parking lots and on the streets. They also have been finding numerous beer bottles, trash, and condoms in the area. Graffiti and broken windows are now common calls for service. Gas runs have increased during the weekends. Motor vehicle related thefts and auto part store break-ins are starting to occur more frequently.

CJUS 300

One of that department’s student resource officers turned in a flyer that advertised a race on Saturday (unknown location) that called for "Street Racers to Take the Challenge." The flyer was one of hundreds circulating through a local high school. The department’s digital exploitation team has also found similar announcements and postings on social media. Lastly, patrol officers went in pursuit of two custom high-performance vehicles in the industrial area, but quickly lost them after they reached speeds of 120 mph.
