    The Neighborhood Enforcement Service Team (NEST) Street Crimes Unit is a specialty unit of the Uniform Patrol Division comprised of eight officers who are involved in the specialized enforcement of neighborhood crimes, such as open air drug dealing, prostitution sweeps, burglary/robbery tracking and other quality of life type issue crimes.

    These officers work a flexible schedule and do not answer regular calls of service, allowing them the time to practice the enforcement needed to improve the quality of life in local neighborhoods.

    The unit operates city wide and can be seen in specially marked partol vehicles as well as in the use of unmarked, plain clothes type surveillance operations.
