Wait — I need to reconsider chronological ordering. Let me re-sort April 6 entries properly:

I also need to reconsider which entries to drop. Let me be more systematic and then write the full draft cleanly.

Noise complaints: There are 4 noise complaints on April 11 night (26-6386, 26-6390, 26-6393, 26-6395) — these are at different locations (Village Green Ln, Worcester St/Dick's Sporting Goods, Underprice Way, Commonwealth West Rd) and responded to by same officers. I'll cluster these as they appear to be a similar late-night pattern.

MV crashes on April 9: Multiple crashes (26-6241, 26-6243, 26-6244) — different locations, not clearly weather-related. Keep separate or consolidate if same area/event. They're at different locations and unrelated — keep separate but brief.

Now let me write the final clean draft:
