The city has organized several missions over the past month to clean-up such areas across town.

This vehicle owner was very happy to get his pickup truck back. It had sustained some damage, but was drivable. Thanks to all the community members who cheered on the officers as they drove by encouraging the officers for their efforts. pic.twitter.com/6dgrikrxOe
