To: beat26@...


TUESDAY, AUGUST 28
7 PM TO 9PM
THE HILL CENTER, 921 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SE

This meeting--which I have arranged with 1D MPD officials--is for residents concerned about this summer's spurt in house burglaries in PSA 106 and PSA 107.?

The objective of the meeting is to learn as much as we can about burglaries to help us individually from becoming victims and to find out what we as a community can do to help MPD reduce the number of these crimes.

To this end, I expect MPD officials to give us an update on the trends in the numbers, provide us with as much specific information about recent burglaries as they can without harming ongoing investigations ... and, to explain the kinds of actions police have taken and are taking to prevent more burglaries and to capture the perpetrators.?

There will be an opportunity to ask questions about burglaries.? (Questions about other matters will be deferred to the end of the meeting.? If there isn't time for them, they can be posed to police at the next regularly scheduled September PSA meetings.)

This email will not necessarily reach all those who have experienced a burglary this summer.? If you have such a neighbor, please make sure they learn about the meeting.

Questions?? Comments?

PS: Here is some good news and lots of helpful information from an Aug 11 posting on the MPD 1D Yahoo Group:

"A short time ago, First District Units received a 911 call for a suspicious person in the 500 Block of G Street, Southeast.? This call resulted in the arrest of a male subject for Receiving Stolen Property.
The apprehension of this suspect was possible because of the assistance that the community provided by immediately calling 911, and providing a good description of the subject and the prompt response of First District Sergeant Pabrezis and other officers. ?
As a reminder, subjects can be considered suspicious if they are going door to door in your neighborhood checking to see if doors are locked, observed looking into cars, or suddenly running from a property. Subjects whom you observe in this type of behavior may be involved in casing homes or businesses, burglary, theft from auto, fleeing the scene of a crime, drug activity, or even preparing for a robbery. If you see something that you believe is suspicious, please dial 911. We will respond and check it out.? It may turn out as this case did.
?
Individuals who have information regarding crimes should call police at 202-727-9099. Additionally information may be submitted to the TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for any robbery committed in the District of Columbia."
