Public Safety Roundup
I need to work through this carefully. The raw log is cut off mid-entry at 26-6895 on 02/17/2026, and covers 02/13–02/19/2026. There is also a date mismatch: the byline/header says "June 20, 2026" but the actual log covers Feb 13–19, 2026. I'll flag this prominently. I'll also note the source file name says "02132026-02192026" which matches the log dates.
Now let me parse the log, applying all rules:
What to DROP entirely (statutory exclusions): - 26-6448: RESTRAINING ORDER ATTEMPT, DV-adjacent, omit - 26-6489: A&B ON FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD MEMBER, this is a domestic violence charge → omit the arrest - 26-6704: RESTRAINING ORDER ATTEMPT NO SERVICE, DV-adjacent, omit - 26-6743: RESTRAINING ORDER ATTEMPT NO SERVICE, DV-adjacent, omit - 26-6820: RESTRAINING ORDER ATTEMPT SERVICE BY DEPT, DV-adjacent, omit - 26-6835: RESTRAINING ORDER ATTEMPT NO SERVICE, DV-adjacent, omit - 26-6594: RUNAWAYS, likely juvenile, omit
What to DROP under tightening rules:
Category A (agency-notified boilerplate): None explicitly in the raw text that I need to strip (no "Eversource was notified" etc. in text beyond what's in call reason fields).
Category B (post-incident logistical detail): Private tows (26-6443, 26-6444, 26-6449, 26-6653, 26-6849), these are private tow calls with no incident narrative, drop.
Category C (non-substantive micro-entries): - All "AREA CHECK SERVICE BY DEPT", these are routine patrol checks with no incident, drop - "TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT SERVICE BY DEPT" with no outcome (no accident, no arrest, no report), these are routine enforcement, no incident narrative, drop - "TRAFFIC SERVICES SERVICE BY DEPT", same, drop - "TRAFFIC CAUTIONARY SERVICE BY DEPT", drop - "HANG UP 911 CALL SERVICE BY DEPT", no incident confirmed, drop (unless there's a referral to incident report; none of the hang-up entries have an incident referral, so drop) - "ALARMS Alarm - False (Billable)" and "Alarm - Canceled", routine false alarms, no incident, drop - "DEPARTMENTAL SERVICES SERVICE BY DEPT", internal, drop - "FOLLOW-UP/ INVESTIGATE SERVICE BY DEPT", follow-up only entries with no new incident info, drop - "ASSIST OTHER AGENCY SERVICE BY DEPT / SERVICE MADE", no incident narrative, drop - "NON-CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS SERVICE BY DEPT", no narrative, drop - "KEEP THE PEACE SERVICE BY DEPT", no narrative/arrest, drop - "SUMMONS ATTEMPT" entries (no service/service made), administrative, drop - "WARRANTS NO SERVICE", administrative, drop - "PRISONER SERVICES SERVICE BY DEPT", internal, drop - "SUSPICIOUS PERSON GONE ON ARRIVAL", no incident confirmed, drop - "SUSPICIOUS AUTO/TRUCK GONE ON ARRIVAL", drop - "MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS GONE ON ARRIVAL", drop - "SUSPICIOUS SITUATION REFER TO OTHER AGENCY", referred away, no Fitchburg action, drop (unless notable) - "FIRE/AMBULANCE REFER TO OTHER AGENCY", medical calls referred to fire/EMS, described as "medical emergency" if kept; given volume (dozens), these are routine EMS redirects with no added info, drop unless they have a referral to an incident report OR are notable - "FIRE/AMBULANCE SERVICE BY DEPT", same, routine medical, describe as medical emergency only if there's something notable; with no referral to incident, drop as routine - "911 - FIRE/AMBULANCE PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE" with referral, keep as medical emergency - "ANIMAL COMPLAINTS SERVICE BY DEPT" at 26-6522, no injury/damage noted, drop - "ANIMALS VIC/ABAND/ABUSED SERVICE BY DEPT" at 26-6479, Essex St @ Oxford St, this could be animal abuse/victim, worth keeping briefly - "ILLEGAL DUMPING SERVICE BY DEPT" at 26-6679, keep briefly - "DRUNKENESS SERVICE BY DEPT" at 26-6672, keep - "VAGRANCY SERVICE BY DEPT" at 26-6470, keep briefly - "TRESPASSING GONE ON ARRIVAL" at 26-6496, gone on arrival, drop
Now let me identify what to KEEP:

Wait, let me re-examine the dates more carefully in the log:
- 02/13/2026 Friday: entries 26-6381 through 26-6511 - 02/14/2026 Saturday: entries 26-6512 through 26-6599 - 02/15/2026 Sunday: entries 26-6602 through 26-6720 (the Sunday section appears to include 26-6602 onward until "For Date: 02/16/2026") - 02/16/2026 Monday: entries 26-6722 through 26-6890 (and some 26-67xx out-of-order) - 02/17/2026 Tuesday: 26-6893 onward (cut off)
Let me re-examine 02/15 more carefully. The Sunday header comes at "For Date: 02/15/2026 - Sunday" and includes calls up to 26-6720 (which has timestamp 2341). Then "For Date: 02/16/2026 - Monday" begins.
Actually wait - let me re-read: 26-6719 is under 02/15 Sunday (2330) and 26-6720 (2341 Sunday). Then Monday begins.
But 26-6645 (0253 Sunday) is a motor vehicle accident on Pearl St with both accident and incident referrals - keep.
Now let me re-examine what's on each day more carefully for Sunday 02/15:
Sunday entries I flagged: - 26-6645: 0253 MV accident Pearl St (accident + incident) - 26-6648: 0403 SUSPICIOUS SITUATION Charles St (has report) - 26-6649: 0551 SUICIDE threat/attempt Beacon St - 26-6655: 1048 MV accident Academy St @ Spring St, wait, is this Sunday or Saturday? Let me recheck...
26-6654 is 0956 on Sunday (Fire/Ambulance). 26-6655 is 1048 MV accident Academy St, this is Sunday 02/15. 26-6656: 1056 Building Fire, Fitchburg Housing Authority, Day St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6661: 1232 MALICIOUS MISCHIEF/VANDALISM, St Bernard St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6665: 1255 SUSPICIOUS AUTO/TRUCK, Myrtle Ave, Sunday 02/15 (has report) 26-6666: 1252 MV accident Electric Ave @ Rollstone Rd, Sunday 02/15. 26-6672: 1421 DRUNKENESS, Market Basket, Water St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6673: 1458 DISTURBANCES, Highland Ave, Sunday 02/15. 26-6676: 1528 MV accident Union St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6678: 1536 LARCENIES/THEFTS, Ollie's, John Fitch Hwy, Sunday 02/15. 26-6679: 1555 ILLEGAL DUMPING, Depot St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6683: 1631 SUSPICIOUS SITUATION, Pratt St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6703: 2059 DISTURBANCES, Elizabeth St (has report), Sunday 02/15. 26-6705: 2120 SUICIDE threat/attempt, Clarendon St (has report), Sunday 02/15. 26-6715: 2201 SUSPICIOUS PERSON, Mechanic St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6716: 2215 SUSPICIOUS AUTO/TRUCK, South St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6719: 2330 MV THEFTS, Cumberland Farms, Kimball St, Sunday 02/15. 26-6720: 2341 DISTURBANCES, Hazel St, Sunday 02/15.
Now Monday 02/16: - 26-6726: 0137 DISTURBANCES PRELIMINARY REPORT, Myrtle Ave, has report → keep - 26-6736: 0712 MV ACCIDENT, Gage St, has report → keep - 26-6738: 0742 FIRE/AMBULANCE PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE, Fitchburg Housing Authority, Day St → medical emergency, keep - 26-6761: 1023 FRAUD, walk-in, Ashburnham Hill Rd → keep - 26-6768: 1055 LARCENIES/THEFTS, Fox St, has report → keep - 26-6790: 1325 SUSPICIOUS SITUATION, South St (Pride Auto Service) → keep briefly - 26-6796: 1420 SUSPICIOUS PERSON, Boulder Dr (manufacturing facility) → keep briefly - 26-6802: 1522 MV ACCIDENT, Lunenburg St @ Townsend St → keep - 26-6804: 1549 MOTOR VEHICLE FIRE, River St, has report → keep (flag) - 26-6805: 1549 DISTURBANCES with ARREST, Gerard Dr - Arrest: MOLINARI-CABRERA, ROMINA, 21, Fitchburg - Charges: A&B - The address matches the arrestee's address; "A&B ON FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD MEMBER" was 26-6489 (omitted). This 26-6805 charges simply "A&B", not explicitly DV/family. Keep. - 26-6811: 1646 HARASSMENT INCIDENT, Pine St → keep briefly - 26-6816: 1710 DISTURBANCES, Metro PCS, John Fitch Hwy → keep briefly - 26-6815: 1711 MV ACCIDENT, Normandy Rd → keep - 26-6830: 1748 LARCENIES/THEFTS, St Joseph Ave → keep - 26-6848: 1958 LARCENIES/THEFTS, Cane St → keep - 26-6864: 2053 ROBBERY, Lawrence St @ Prescott St, has report → keep (flag)
Tuesday 02/17 (truncated, only 26-6893 and 26-6894 visible, both Fire/Ambulance referrals, and 26-6895 cut off): - 26-6893: Fire/Ambulance refer to other agency, Pleasant St, routine medical, drop - 26-6894: Fire/Ambulance refer to other agency, Lunenburg St, routine medical, drop - 26-6895: MOTOR VEHICLE ACCID[ENT], cut off
The log is cut off. I'll note in the review that 02/17–02/19 data is truncated/missing.
Now, some entries need careful review:
26-6407 (0527 Fri): "TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE" with a formal incident referral at Ashby State Rd (Gomes Liquors). This is unusual, a traffic enforcement stop that generated a formal report. Could be an OUI arrest without explicit arrest record in the log, or other citation. I'll include it as a traffic enforcement action that generated a report, flagging for editor.
26-6429 (1015 Fri): "FIRE/AMBULANCE PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE" at Montachusett Regional Technical School, this is a medical emergency at a school that generated a formal report. Keep.
26-6645 (0253 Sun): MV accident with BOTH accident report AND incident report, suggests something beyond a simple fender-bender. Flag.
26-6648 (0403 Sun): Suspicious situation with incident report, keep.
26-6539 (0308 Sat): Building fire, Blossom St, flag. 26-6656 (1056 Sun): Building fire, Fitchburg Housing Authority, Day St, flag.
26-6509 (2322 Fri): Unattended death, Fisher Rd, flag for editor.
26-6804 (1549 Mon): Motor vehicle fire, River St, flag.
26-6864 (2053 Mon): ROBBERY, Lawrence St @ Prescott St, flag prominently.
26-6719 (2330 Sun): Motor vehicle theft, Cumberland Farms, Kimball St, keep, flag.
Now on location formatting, I need to use block format (e.g., "the 900 block of Fisher Road"). For named businesses I can use the business name + street block. Let me compile and format:
For the date mismatch between the header ("June 20, 2026") and the log content (Feb 13–19, 2026): I'll use the actual log dates in the roundup and flag this prominently.
For 26-6489 (Fri 1829, Richard Campbell arrest): The charge is "A&B ON FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD MEMBER", this is explicitly a domestic violence charge. Must omit.
For 26-6805 (Mon 1549, Romina Molinari-Cabrera arrest): Charged with "A&B" (not specifically "family/household member"). The location is her home address. Without explicit DV designation, I'll include it but flag for editor to verify.
Now let me also look at some ambiguous entries:
26-6481 (1559 Fri): SUICIDE threat/attempt at Ayuk Residence, Hollywood St, same address as 26-6453 (earlier that day at 1229, Fire/Ambulance refer to other agency). I'll note this in review.
26-6526 (0047 Sat): Missing person, Clarendon St. The address appears to be a residence (Ocasio, Brenda). Could potentially involve a juvenile. Flag for editor.
Now let me write the draft. I'll organize chronologically by day and time.
I also need to decide about the "FIRE/AMBULANCE" entries. The ones with "PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE" have formal reports attached, I'll keep those as "medical emergency." The ones simply "REFER TO OTHER AGENCY" or "SERVICE BY DEPT" without report referrals are routine EMS dispatches, I'll drop them per tightening rule C (dozens of them, no substantive info). The ones "SERVICE BY DEPT" that have no incident reference number, drop. Exception: 26-6429 (school) which I'll keep.
For the 26-6738 entry (Monday): "FIRE/AMBULANCE PRELIMINARY REPORT DUE" at Fitchburg Housing Authority, keep as medical emergency (has report referral).
Now: the "SUSPICIOUS SITUATION" entries, I'll keep ones that had outcome (report filed or action noted). The ones "SERVICE BY DEPT" with no report can be kept briefly if at notable locations, but many are just logged checks. I'll be selective: - 26-6390 (Fri 0132, Granite St, suspicious situation, service by dept), minimal info, drop - 26-6427 (Fri 0954, Modello Hair Studio, suspicious situation), drop (no report) - 26-6462 (Fri 1325, Rindge Rd), drop (no report) - 26-6463 (Fri 1332, Reingold School), notable school location but no report, drop - 26-6506 (Fri 2244, Massachusetts Ave, LEO jurisdiction, referred to other agency), drop - 26-6508 (Fri 2307, Power Surge Bar Arcade, Main St), no report, drop - 26-6541 (Sat 0452, School St), no report, drop - 26-6548 (Sat 0619, Main St), no report, drop - 26-6554 (Sat 0934, Merriam Pkwy), no report, drop - 26-6584 (Sat 1840, Tent City, Water St), has report, keep - 26-6648 (Sun 0403, Charles St), has report, keep - 26-6665 (Sun 1255, Myrtle Ave), has report, keep - 26-6683 (Sun 1631, Pratt St), no report, drop - 26-6790 (Mon 1325, Pride Auto Service, South St), no report, drop - 26-6796 (Mon 1420, Boulder Dr), no report, drop
For "DISTURBANCES SERVICE BY DEPT" (no report): these were handled but generated no formal report. Still potentially noteworthy for a roundup if at notable locations. I'll include brief notes for the ones without reports where the location is public/notable; drop purely residential ones with no report: - 26-6415 (Fri 0737, Great Wolf Lodge), notable, keep briefly - 26-6422 (Fri 0923, Marshall St, residential), no report, drop - 26-6442 (Fri 1102, Community Health Center), notable location, keep briefly - 26-6499 (Fri 2056, Laurel St), no report, residential, drop - 26-6510 (Fri 2334, Victor's on Main), public venue, keep briefly - 26-6816 (Mon 1710, Metro PCS, John Fitch Hwy), commercial, keep briefly
