Reminder - Dupont Circle/Kal Public Safety (PSA 208) Meeting, Neighborhood Watch Revival, and Borderstan Walk-Around

1)     Meeting – Dupont/Kalorama Public Safety Meeting/PSA 208 - Tuesday, March 17th at 7pm at the 3rd District Metropolitan Police Dept Headquarters at 1620 V Street. (Held on the 3rd Tuesdays for Dupont and Kalorama-Sheridan issues and still in the 3D building even though our police work out of 2D.) Our community depends on good communications to and from our police. This is a roundtable meeting where we problem-solve. Bring an issue – no matter how minor. If you can’t make it, please convey your issue to someone who will be attending.

 

1.      Rooftop Burglaries

2.      Street Robberies

3.      Moving the Public Safety Meeting/PSA to different problems spots has proved effective. We’d like ideas for issue-specific meetings for the April 21st meeting.

 

2)     Neighborhood Watch – We have a good number of Block Captains lined up but need to engage them to reach out to their neighbors. Please inquire with Sol Levine regarding becoming a block Captain and sign up at the Neighborhood Network 208 Google Group. And please come to Tuesday night’s Public Safety/PSA meeting to brainstorm on how to engage Block Captains.

 

3)     Borderstan Night-Safety Walk Around - Read about here.

What: Borderstan Night-Safety Walk Around. Join police and city government staff for a quick walk around Borderstan. The purpose is to point out dark areas that need lighting, burned out street lights, overgrown trees, etc. The goal is to improve night safety in Borderstan through better lighting and visibility.

When: This Thursday, March 19, 6 p.m. The group will leave 15th and T NW at 6 p.m. and proceed south.

Who: You, your neighbors, representatives of D.C. government agencies. This includes members of the MPD, D.C. Department of Transportation and Andrew Huff, the Outreach and Services Specialist for Ward 2.

Why: You can meet members of the police who patrol West Borderstan (PSA 208) and East Borderstan (PSA 307) as well as your neighbors… and contribute to public safety by working with officials to fix lighting- and visibility-related problems.

Where: 15th Street NW, starting at T Street and proceeding south to Rhode Island Avenue NW. Join us at 15th and T or watch for us as we make our way down 15th Street NW. Our goal is to cover/talk to residents on the 1400- and 1500-blocks of all streets between T Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW.
