The San Diego Sheriff’s Office Valley Center Sub-Station has reinstated its specialized Crime Suppression Team (CST) following recent improvements in staffing levels. The substation serves a diverse and expansive area of about 340 square miles and 20,000 residents. Originally launched to address emerging crime trends through targeted enforcement and intelligence-driven investigations, CST was temporarily paused due to staffing constraints. The team has resumed operations and is once again focused on identifying and disrupting criminal activity, conducting compliance checks, and collaborating with tribal law enforcement and specialized units such as the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET). Since its return in July, CST has made more than 15 felony arrests and 10 for misdemeanors. https://www.valleycenter.com/articles/sheriffs-sub-station-reinstates-crime-suppression-team/

Actress, Diane Keaton, best known for her Oscar-winning title role in one of Woody Allen’s most successful movies, “Annie Hall” died Saturday at the age of 79. That character also established her as a fashion icon. Other career highlights included recurring roles in “The Godfather” franchise, “The First Wives Club”, “Manhattan”, the “Father of the Bride” remakes and “Baby Boom”. Though associated with New York through many of her films, Keaton was born in Los Angeles and educated at Santa Ana and Orange Coast Colleges. Her professional career began on Broadway in “Hair” and Woody Allen’s comic play, “Play It Again, Sam”. At about that time, she had a brief, unrealized career as a singer. Keaton worked steadily at acting for the next 55 years. Her final roles were in “Arthur’s Whiskey” and “Summer Camp” last year. She had three projects in pre-production including “The Making Of” with Blake Lively and Richard Gere. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call Saturday for medical assistance and later transported a person from Keaton’s address to a hospital. The cause of death remains unclear. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/10/11/diane-keaton-cause-of-death/86646067007/

They don’t need no stinking badges. Instead, employees at the new $3b Midtown Manhattan headquarters of JPMorgan Chase will need to bioscan to get into the building. Though initially said to be voluntary, biometric access is now required to get into the skyscraper at 270 Park Avenue either by palm or fingerprint – or possibly even ocular scans. The strict measures are the result of the deadly shooting in July at the nearby headquarters of the NFL. More than 10k JPMorgan employees will be working there when it fully opens before the end of the year. According to Fortune magazine, the 60 floors of workspace includes a 19-restaurant food court and Irish pub, an art collection, lighting to match workers’ circadian rhythms, and its own signature scent. One assumes it’ll be different from New York City’s signature scent, which is often garbage. JPMorgan has plans to supplement the new building by renovating neighboring structures to create a multi-block campus – a big turnaround from the work-from-home paradigm of just a couple of years ago.
