Mcknight Public Safety
Report
The Mcknight Neighborhood Watch
will move it’s meeting to follow the Sector F Team Beat Police meeting on
October 20th. The Sector F meeting will run form 5:30-6:15 with the
Neighborhood Watch meeting to follow. This month we asked for the SPD to
provide training on Gang activity: how to spot it and what we can do to report
it in our neighborhood.
We hope that by having the
meetings together there is a more synergy,
participation, and engagement from neighbors. It will also simplify
meeting days hopefully generating more attendees. The website has been updated
and we expect to meet with Dep Cochrane and Kathy Brown to confirm the
format.(we will also keep Ben Swan notified of these meetings as well.)
We are looking for your input on
what types of trainings you’d like to see for these meetings.
The biggest initiatives continue
to be getting block captain commitments from neighbors and educating neighbors
on how to report. Then how to follow up on that request after it’s been
reported.
We continue to ask that you call
crimes into 787-6302 for non emergencies or 911 for emergencies. The TEXT A TIP
number 274637 and type SOLVE in the message is a great solution if want to report
anonymous crimes.
We still continue to get results with
follow up issues directed to Dep Cochrane and Reggie Miller after items have
been properly called in.
There continue to be break ins, petty
theft, assaults, and drug issues on Bowdoin,Bay,and Girard-especially during
the late night and overnight times.
Ideally we’d like to get a point
person inside Cathedral Hill Apts and the Girard Ave complex engaged. Each complex
could really use its own “Watch”.
We got a
complaint from Valerie Carmen on Thompson
St regarding the truck traffic and noise from the Cozy Courtyard on State
St. We asked she call it in and we will also
follow up with Officer Miller.
Sincerely
Walter Kroll- President
