Grand Crossing Park Neighborhood Network"...what YOU can do for YOUR neighborhood!"

Dear neighbor,
Please be reminded that Tuesday 24 March15 is the C.A.P.S. beat 323 meeting at Park Manoe church, 7-8pm

Talking points for this evening are as follows:

*Remember to note the attending officer’s names, rank and what hours they work. Determine if they are regularly assigned to work this beat.

The identification of Robbery & Burglary patterns are two of the biggest indicators of how serious crime trends are in your area; therefore be sure the officers explain whats going on with them. Beat integrity is a key factor in maintaining order.

• Who are they, by name?
• We need assurances that a strong policy be achieved to meet this end

Burglaries

• Do we have a burglar on the loose?
• Are there any patterns here?
• Have any Community Alerts been issued on this problem?

*If the officers can’t explain anything then they should have Detectives come to the meetings who can..

Robberies
