Crime Log: Seal Beach enjoys a quiet St. Pat’s Day

Main Street experienced a mellow St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday, March 17, 2018.

There were zero DUI arrests, according to Sgt. Michael Henderson, public information officer for the Seal Beach Police Department.

According to Henderson, there were “seven arrests for public intoxication or disorderly conduct.  Many people were given the option of getting a ride home.”

As in prior years, SBPD received assistance from other law enforcement agencies. “Buena Park PD, Fountain Valley PD and Orange County Sheriff contributed 14 additional Officers,” Henderson said.

“Approximately ten Volunteers (in Policing) worked in support of the St. Patrick’s Day deployment. One Reserve Officer worked,” Henderson said.

The mobile police command post was located next to the Central Avenue Fire Station this year.

District One Councilwoman Ellery Deaton, whose district includes Main Street, said, “I walked Main and walked through the bars and found Saint Patrick’s Day well under control.  Thanks to the Police Department, Chief Miller and all his officers as well as Wink and Patty of CERT.”
