Ladies and Gentlemen:

Due to the recent assault and robbery that occurred on 7/20/2010 at 4700
Prague (Francis Park) in which we arrested a female suspect and four
other individuals for committing the crime, and due to me being informed
that our residents of district two are seeing some suspicious
individuals walking in and around the parks, there will be two uniformed
officers working 4pm to Mid-Night that will be assigned to the parks
until further notice.  I need you not to hesitate when considering
dialing 911 for suspicious persons that you see in the parks.  The
officers will need your help in order to watch each park when they are
working.  I want you to introduce yourselves to these officers when you
see them and develop a rapport with them.

As of right now our crime in the district is down compared to last year.
Our burglaries are down at this point almost 20%.  Car theft is down
almost 30%.  Our major problem is larcenies which mostly consist of
stealing from motor vehicles (car clouting).  We are still leaving our
personal items in our cars.  We have got to stop leaving items such as
GPS systems, laptops, purses, cell phones, chargers, etc in our
vehicles.  Do not make it easy for the individuals that are riding
around breaking into vehicles.  I want to commend the citizens of the
district for calling 911 more this year as oppose to last.  With your
help we have been successful arresting burglary and robbery suspects on
a consistent basis.  Please continue to call 911 for anything or anyone
that makes you suspicious!

Respectfully,
Captain Ronnie Robinson
Commander Dist. 2
