Neighborhood Safety Meeting

The Kenwood, Lowry Hill, East Isles and Cedar-Isles-Dean Neighborhood Associations are holding a public safety gathering. MPD Chief Brian O'Hara will be attending. The objective of the meeting is to hear updates from the City and MPD on improvements in safety in our neighborhoods and area.

Speakers:

  • MPD Chief Brian O'Hara: Update on the various police efforts in combating crime including the Milestone Camera program. He will also address the latest consent decree between the police department and the U.S. DOJ mandating police reforms.

  • 5th Precinct Insp. Christie Nelson: Report on crime trends in our precinct and introduce our new crime specialist for the 5th precinct, Faith Randal. 

  • 911 Operations Deanna Douglas & Amy Sizer: Will be on hand to talk about their work and aid us in understanding how 911 operates.  

  • Park Police Lt. Calvin Nobles: Update on public safety and criminal activity in the park system. 

  • MPD Officer Lance DuPaul: Update on MPD’s bait car program, an interesting and effective way to catch car thieves.

  • Neighborhood Safey Clubs Founder Aileen Johnson: Update on her efforts to expand the neighborhood walking clubs. She will also focus on other areas the clubs are becoming involved in concerning public safety and community outreach.

  • Community Safety Comm. Todd Barnette (former Hennepin Co. District Court Chief Judge): Update on public safety initiatives in the City’s five safety departments: Police, Fire, 911, Emergency Management and Neighborhood Safety (including Behavioral Response Unit). We’re all concerned about public safety and this is a great opportunity to learn firsthand from the person in charge of our safety about our city's response.

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.
