June 16: PSA 208 Public Safety Meeting

At this meeting, we'll welcome Acting Lt. John McDonald, who will be replacing former Lt. Erich Miller on PSA 208's leadership team.

We’ve been trying to vary the location of the Dupont/Kalorama Public Safety Meeting every other month. April’s meeting at Stead Playground resulted in some good conflict resolution and DPR/DDoT help on lighting and facilities in Stead. That, again, validated the worth of moving meetings around. We get new people to come out when we move the meetings as well.

On Tuesday June 16th, we’ll meet from 7 to 7:30pm at MPD 3D station (1620 V St.) and then proceed down 17th Street to P. MPD, other DC gov staff, concerned neighbors, Block Captains, and activists hope to meet up with citizens and business people on the way down 17th to learn about issues – kind of like Orange Hat patrols. (So if you live or work at 17th and P, you should plan to start looking for us at about 8:10 to 8:30 if you want to get to know your foot beat officers and their leadership.)

Please come up with a location for the August meeting (always the 3rd Tuesday of the month) if you have some issues in a particular area. We’ll also be trying to pull together a National Night Out event for August 4th.
