Dear Friends: Last night was a tough night for our neighborhoods...with armed car jacking, one homicide, four wounded two critically, another wounding on...
Well you know I am all about problem-oriented policing. What do you think is the etiology of the crime patterns in your area? How would you then propose to...
"Improve" foot patrols?? How about have them, period. I live near the intersection of 13th and Harvard, and I have NEVER seen a foot patrol. Over the last...
I have seen a decent amount of foot/car patrols where I am (11th and Park). I think it's hard to say that foot patrols "aren't happening" unless you really are...
It was the 2900 block of 14th Street, I emailed the MPD person listed. Andrew ... runs east-west. It is quite upsetting and unsettling to realize that a MPD...
Last night I was walking home from a Halloween party down 13th Street around 11pm. I was somewhere between Harvard and Euclid. A caucasian, perhaps hispanic,...
Hi Alison, I would suggest that you talk out your cell phone like you're trying to call somebody if this ever happens to you again. Also try to get the tag...
Yes, I actually was on my cell phone at the time with my friend. So she heard the whole exchange. I am reporting this to the police so there is record in case...
In reading the response of our Council member, he forgot to mention that there is a solution being worked on in the Shaw/Logan Circle Community currently, one...

Hello Friends, Amazing Activists and Fellow Poets: This week is a big one, with plenty of events not to be missed. While these events are not produced by...
The average street criminal may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but he is probably smart enough to realize that it doesn't make a lot of sense to sell...
No, my response is the most honest and direct one made. As the saying goes, "when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging". My...

Personally I think it is global warming, not social programs that have caused the increase in youth violence. After all it is a proven fact that violence...
Dear Friends, at 5:15 AM this morning, MPD observed a stolen car at the gas station at Harvard and Sherman. In an attempt to escape, the driver of the stolen...
maybe that would be true if youth violence went up everywhere equally as temperature increased. Youth violence goes up in the summer primarily because of the...
just curious..... 1. If the car was being tracked with OnStar and had been tracked since late Thursday night, why does it take more than 5 hours to locate a...
That was written, tongue in cheek, to demonstrate the fallacy of the argument made by the Cato Institute. As you rightly point out it is poverty and violence...
If this thread gets sidetracked into whether global warming causes youth violence without a single person commenting on the legitimate point made in the Cato...
