Eugene City Police will add extra patrols this weekend and Wednesday, Oct. 31, in the West University neighborhood. EPD Lieutenant Ron Roberts said the department is taking the action because of a history of disruptive events on Halloween.
“As in Halloweens past, we have increased patrols for incidents of parties and illegal trickery in the entire … neighborhood,” he said.
Roberts said EPD will concentrate on the University area but will not limit themselves to specific streets.
Weekend police patrols generally average 15 to 16 officers. The increased patrols will have 22 to 23 officers on duty. The extra patrols begin tonight.
