Summer beach patrols to be beefed up Notes from the Pacific Beach Town Council (PBTC) meeting on April 20: Capt. Al Guaderrama of the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division said residents in Pacific Beach and Mission Beach will see a more visible police presence along the beach and boardwalk areas in the coming weeks. An added 10-person police team will begin training April 30 and will be patrolling the beach throughout the summer months. After a couple weeks of training to learn the bike and quad maneuvers, the team will be in full force everyday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. “We know that for the residents who live in this area it’s important for them to have a police presence to deal effectively with their quality-of-life issues,” Guaderrama said. “We’ll have a beach team out here seven days a week so you will see some additional resources during the summer-time months.” Several PBTC members voiced concern to Guaderrama over the presence of party buses in the community. Parking and alcohol issues were the main points of concern to Town Councilmembers. Guarderrama ur-ged board members to call (619) 513-2000 to report illegal activities and to obtain an incident number for tracking purposes when they call. Tim Orozco, representative for Assembly Member Tony Atkins, reported that the state budget — although not yet finished — is further along than it was at this point last year and should be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown by the June 15 deadline. A Pacific Beach Woman’s Club representative announced that the club was able to remove more than 1,000 tags during the PBTC annual graffiti cleanup day on April 2. People interested in learning how to clean graffiti can check out a sample kit with instructions at the Pacific Beach Woman’s Club, located at 1721 Hornblend St. The Pacific Beach Woman’s Club is hosting its annual wine tasting event on May 14 from 3 to 6 p.m. For ticket information, call Georgie at (858) 274-9106.
