FW: June Joint Dupont Public Safety Meeting Reminder Announcement

This coming Tuesday the 17th the Dupont Public Safety will meet at 7 in the Stanley Room of the 3rd District Headquarters - 1620 V Street. Commander McCoy plans to be there.

I've attached a list of concerns that we have. We'll get into details of some of those topics that night. We may have some citizens showing up who have new concerns. If that is the case, we'll spend some time talking about the crimes that they have recently witnessed or been victims of.

Hope to see you there,

Rob Halligan
