October PDAC Update
Captain's Report: Violent crime up 7% in the 3rd District but gun robberies are
down.
Non-gun robberies have increased, however, and the District has received
seven new officers. Much of the increase
involves bicycles; it is recommended that bike owners tag their bikes with a unique feature to facilitate identification if
the bike is located. Our police officers also recommend keeping a record of the
serial number for quick ID of
stolen property.
Announcements: Mischief Night is a no-egg night around here. Merchants are not to
sell eggs to children; please remind your local shopowners that you'll be keeping an
eye out for any violation!
There will be another Captain's Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, November 6, at 7:00
p.m. This one will
be at the Palumbo Recreation Center at 10th & Fitzwater Streets.
Evacution Plan: The City's emergency
evacuation plan has now been formalized.
Color-coded maps showing exits from your neighborhood are now available as
are
instructions on how to prepare for an emergency. Under the auspices of the Managing
Director, the Office
of Emergency Management recommends that you sign up to receive
their alerts by cell phone or e-mail but reminds that
text-messaging would be the
last method to fail should a disaster occur and is therefore the best option.
