Tour of 911 Operations

From Neighborhood Safety Walking Clubs:

We have received a special invitation from 911 to tour their facilities in City Hall and to learn all about 911 Operations. We will learn about how 911 works with MPD, HCSO, Fire, and other agencies.  We will have the opportunity to speak with dispatchers and to watch them handle 911 calls. This special tour is scheduled for two dates (it is the same tour but offered twice to give some choice and flexibility). Please RSVP to Aileen at fritzdoris@comcast.net if you plan to attend.

Public Safety Meeting

The Kenwood, Lowry Hill, East Isles and Cedar Lake neighborhood organizations are holding a public safety gathering this Friday. The following speakers are confirmed:

  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

  • Minneapolis Police Inspector Nelson of the 5th Precinct, and possibly Assistant Police Chief Blackwell

  • Chief Ohotto of the Park Police, along with Lieutenant Klein

  • Minneapolis City Council Member Katie Cashman, our recently elected Ward 7 rep

  • Aileen Johnson, North Loop resident and organizer of the safety walking clubs

The purpose of the meeting is to focus on issues regarding public safety. Speakers will provide an update on crime statistics in the neighborhood, trends, and what the department has done to improve safety in the neighborhoods. Philosophies and positions on public safety will be shared. What neighbors can do to assist the park police and the Minneapolis police in their work will also be addressed. Other issues or comments that the speakers feel would be helpful for neighbors to know are welcome. There will also be a short Q & A at the end.
