Public Safety Alert

We’ve had several packages disappear from stoops recently. We have a pretty good ID that the perpetrator is Wayne Bridgeforth. He is known to have been released from prison on similar charges. He also breaks into cars. He will slip into a garage left open monetarily to steal a power tool. He steals mail out of mail boxes as well. Every time he gets arrested we hope he’ll get a long sentence, but it hasn’t happened yet. He’s on probation. The attached and below picture of Wayne Bridgeforth was not provided by the government (which doesn’t like distributing photos of suspect’s in most circumstances).

Tell your delivery people to stop leaving packages on the stoop in the meantime.

If you see this guy walking around as if he has some business on the block, pull out your phone to dial 911. There’s good chance, he’ll nonchalantly steal something momentarily. He’s about 5 foot 7.

CAC Meetings (Police) - Reminders

Last night the 3rd District notified us that Chief Lanier is appearing at the Metropolitan Police Departments 3rd District CAC here. If you haven’t been to meetings with her, you should consider going; she’s terrific.

 

This morning our 2nd District Assistant US Attorney Community Prosecutor Anita LaRue announced (below) that the 2nd District CAC is having DC’s new US Attorney and asked for questions from those who can’t travel to 2D at Idaho Avenue at 7pm on Wed the 28th. You could convey questions to AUSA LaRue in the email below or to me. Getting our prosecutorial priorities to the US Attorney is important.

 

Context: CAC’s (Citizen’s Advisory Council’s) are volunteer groups that meet with the District Commander monthly. Dupont and Kalorama were moved from the 2nd District to the 3rd a few years ago. The areas to the north and east of the political boundaries of Dupont are in 3D.  I usually announce the PSA meeting which is where the community meets with the Lieutenant.

Hi Rob-

Next Wednesday, United States Attorney Ronald C.  Machen Jr. will attend the 2D CAC at the Second District. He chose this meeting because of the opportunity to address residents from various PSAs. 

I know robberies and thefts from auto are two issues in PSA 208.  Please forward any other concerns, ideas you would like the office to address next week.

Thank you in advance.

RE: Feb 16 Borderstan Meeting - Reminder

Last fall, (then) 3D Commander Kucik hosted a meeting on 1400 R issues. We’re holding a follow up to that and a general Borderstan meeting (at the regular PSA 208 meeting) on February 16th in 3D at 1620 V Street at 7pm.  The new 3D Commander Jacob Kishter and 2D Commander Klein plan to be in attendance.

Looking forward to making some progress

 

If there are other matters that you’d help to explore at the regular PSA meeting, we could hold side meetings to handle those concerns.

 

We had what seemed to be a successful Crime/Nightlife Summit a couple weeks back and will be discussing follow up soon.
