Quick Crime Update

I wasn't able to attend Tuesday night's monthly public safety meeting for our police service area (PSA 208), but I did trade emails with our PSA leadership with MPD to raise concerns about proper police coverage next week first during the High Heel Race on Tuesday the 28th, then with Halloween on Friday the 31st.

From our Sgt:

• For the High Heel Race their will be an entire CDU platoon consisting of 1 Lieutenant, 3 Sergeants, 1 Master Patrol Officer and 22 Officers. There will also be officers along the route, conducting crime patrol in the periphery of the event and of course manning traffic posts.
• For Halloween I believe their will be two CDU squads consisting of 2 Sergeants and either 14 or 16 officers to supplement man power in PSA 208.

I trust that this will be good coverage for those nights, though we could always use more coverage at events and during holidays like Halloween and July 4.
