Community Meeting on Scenic Drive Safety- November 10 Summary

Illegal dumping, camping, drug use and overnight parking overnight parking along Scenic Drive have been a cause of concern for the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust as well as neighbors and visitors wanting to safely enjoy beach access. Help be a part of the solution by joining with other community members for a dialogue with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department on how to work together to improve safety along Scenic Drive. This community meeting was held via Zoom on Tuesday, November 10.

Undersherriff Justin Braud joined the conversation to listen to community concerns and share how the Sheriff's Problem Oriented Policing Program approach can be helpful in developing  strategies to address community issues like dumping, illegal camping and drug use. Problem Oriented Policing is a proactive approach to identifying and targeting problems that contribute to crime, disorder and other community issues.
