A Finesilver Ranch resident reported his teen aged grandson and the boy's three friends were confronted by a man who identified himself as a police officer at the FSR Community Center, 8 December at about 5:30 pm. According to a report taken by Blue Armor, FSR's contracted security service, the boys told the grandparent the officer "stopped and frisked" them for drugs.
The grandparent called the SAPD Prue Substation to determine whether an officer had reported making contact with juveniles in the neighborhood. However, the response was inconclusive due to the number of officers whose units work city-wide out of substations other than Prue.
During the same patrol period, the Blue Armor officer was notified by another resident of an unnamed security company observed patrolling the neighborhood earlier that day. The resident wondered if the HOA had switched to a new company: FSR has not.
Yet another resident saw earlier this week a dark blue sedan sporting a red stripe parked at the community center. These markings do not match Blue Armor's white with red stripes and blue lettering. On this occasion, the resident noted an apparent security officer talking with teen aged boys. The timeline of this event has yet to be correlated with the 8 December incidents.
Blue Armor and FSR Safety are attempting to confirm whether SAPD has a record of any officer contacting children at Finesilver Ranch on 8 December. This may include a check of other area law enforcement agencies as well. Further, the committee is attempting to determine a description of the "officer" and is seeking further information on the unauthorized security patrols observed in the neighborhood.
See the Blue Armor website, the official security company of Finesilver Ranch, for patrol vehicle markings and officer uniform style. Call Association Management Services, 829-7202, if any other security presence is noted in FSR. Call 911 to report any suspicious activity observed in progress, or having just occurred.
