This is a reminder that crime, no matter how small, does have an impact on our neighborhood and should always be reported to the police. The police department has a saying, “put the cops on the dots”. In each district headquarters there is a detailed map of the area with pins, or dots, that represent where a crime occurred. The dots are crimes that citizens have reported but if you don’t call-in criminal activity there is no dot on their map and no reason for the police to add resources to an area if it appears crime is low. By reporting a crime, something as small as change being stolen from your vehicle, you are giving the police valuable information and the ability to react accordingly. So help out your neighbors and report crime so they can put the “cops on the dots”. Also, thank you to those who have called 311 to remove some of the homeless people in the park. The Deputy Major even went to the park several times himself around 3 a.m. to remove them from the gazebo and the playground. So continue to call as the park should be used for recreation and not a permanent home. Lastly, please join in the highly successful district-wide crime walks. To date 11 arrests have been made because of the walks. If you would like to participate here are the dates and locations of several upcoming patrols. And as always we walk with the police.
