<br />2./';/ <br /> <br /> <br />September 25, 1990 <br /> <br />TO: Rick Jopke <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />J. Zelinsky, Police Chi~ <br />SUBJECT: Arcade Survey <br /> <br />Attached is the information you requested regarding amusement rooms. <br />Hopefully, the Planning Commission will seriously consider the impact <br />of allowing this type of business to operate. <br /> <br />The Circus located at the Har Mar Shopping Center has not generated any <br />serious police problems that have not been addressed immediately once <br />identified. Most of the calls have been misdemeanor thefts, false alarms <br />and suspicion calls. We had one Terroristic Threat and one medical call. <br />These stats were covered over the last two year plus period. <br /> <br />What isn't represented in our research to this point is the number of <br />incidents that have occurred in the parking lots of Har Mar. We've had <br />numerous theft from autos, vandalism calls, suspicious incidents, and <br />some assaults on the east side of the shopping complex. The theory is <br />when they are run out of the Mall by Security and/or off duty police <br />officers, they tend to congregate in the parking lot. There have also <br />been some problems in the Mall Area and the Public Restrooms. <br /> <br />In addition to having their private security force at Har Mar, the Circus <br />employs an off duty police officer on Friday and Saturday night. <br /> <br />If I or my staff can be of further assistance, contact me at your earliest <br />convenience. <br /> <br />cc: City Manager <br /> <br />enc. <br /> <br />2660 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE · ROSEVILLE .
