Nov Dupont/Kal Public Safety/PSA 208 Meeting - Reminder

On Tuesday Nov 16th, citizens and business representatives will meet from 7 to 8:00pm at MPD 3D station (1620 V St.). (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.

Some potential topics:

1.     Hate crimes: http://www.tbd.com/articles/2010/11/in-gentrifying-logan-circle-affordable-housing-meets-hate-crimes-31696.html

2.     Off the stoop package thievery

3.     Mass bicycle thefts out of big building bike storage rooms

4.     3d staffing and if there is any correlation to crime and arrest rates. Stats discussion.

5.     MPD crime pattern recognition.

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.
