Austin police said one solution is more staff. They said all city parks used to have officers assigned to patrol, but those park police officers have been moved off that duty to aid other departments.
"Oftentimes, they would start early in the morning, and they would patrol the area and show up at the park, you know, just before a lot of the joggers started coming out. That unit that used to exist but has since been disbanded," Austin PD PIO Michael Bullock said.
Austin PD said the incidents were isolated but urges the public to be vigilant and if you see anything, call the Austin Police Department.that I have read and agree
