<br /> 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The first two slides of the presentation include data related to fatal and non-fatal drug <br />overdoses in 2021 and 2022, the second of which is overlayed with data from 2023. Each slide <br />contains the actual numbers of overdoses along with a map overlay showing location. Slides <br />four and five show the same data for the years 2023 and 2024. While the number of fatal <br />overdoses greatly declined in 2023, the number of total reported overdoses continues to <br />remain steady. The mapping of this data continues to show that these overdoses <br />predominantly occur within already established SODA zones within the city. <br />Slides six-eight show arrest data for drug and narcotic related violations in of Everett, first <br />broken down by north and south/central sectors, and then city wide. These slides contain data <br />from both 2023 and 2024. As is evidenced in the slides, the majority of all the current SODA <br />zones continue to contain the majority of drug related arrests within the city. <br />Slide nine details substance abuse calls for service citywide in 2023-34, again showing <br />alignment between the calls for service and the existing SODA zones. <br />Slides ten and eleven detail the substance abuse calls for service (side 10) and the drug/narcotic <br />violation arrests (slide 11) in all city parks. The parks with the most drug/narcotics arrests are, <br />in order of most arrests to least, Clark Park, J.J. Hill Park, and Wetmore Theater Plaza. These <br />parks are within SODA areas 7, 1, and 4 respectively. <br />Based upon the provided data, the combined experiences of myself, Sgt Wallace and the two <br />proactive units we are responsible for supervising it is our recommendation that each of the <br />below listed areas, all of which are existing SODA areas; remain in effect going forward. <br />1) The entire area extending from the 1000 block to the 4100 block of Broadway, and two <br />blocks east and west of this area of Broadway; and <br />2) The entire area on Evergreen Way extending from the 4700 block to the south city limits, <br />and two blocks east and west of this area of Evergreen Way; and <br />3) The entire area on West Casino Road extending from the Evergreen Way to Airport Rd, <br />and two blocks north and south of this area of West Casino Road; and <br />4) The entire area extending from the 1000 block to the 3200 block of Hewitt Ave, and two <br />blocks north and south of this area of Hewitt Ave; and <br />5) The entire area extending from the 3100 block to the 3900 block of Smith Ave, and two <br />blocks east and west of this area of Smith Ave. <br />6) The entire area extending from the 4000 block through 4700 block of Rucker Avenue, and <br />two blocks east and west of this area of Rucker Avenue.
