- Santa Teresa Park is central
in the county, so it gets a lot of law enforcement.
- When the springs were burned,
the call went first to San Jose dispatch, then transferred to the
sheriffs. They were given the address of 350 Bernal Avenue. By the time
they got the correct address, the arsonists were gone. They found
bottles at the spring, which they fingerprinted.
- People go up on the canal,
walk across the pipe, go up the hill, and smoke pot. They caught a
group of 20 on the hill above the Pedro Bernal House. They were not
local.

Muriel Wright Center at the bottom of the hill.
- Hellyer get the most graffiti.

respond to certain types of calls. The sheriffs will respond to
everything, but will prioritize.
