Minneapolis Police Holding a Public Meeting at Waite Park for All Upper Northeast Residents

You are invited to a meeting with us to discuss your concerns and questions.  The meeting will be on March 10th at 6:30 p.m. at Waite Park, 1810 34th Ave NE to meet and converse with the Lieutenant and the Crime Prevention Specialist who work in your neighborhood.

Lt. Whisney, who supervises officers who work in your neighborhood, will provide information on:

• How you can help the police,
• Staffing in the precinct, and
• Crime trends.

Carol Oosterhuis, the Crime Prevention Specialist for your neighborhood, will also present information about some programs, including:

• Community Impact Statements and Crime Alerts
• 311
• Youth Crime Prevention in Northeast

We are inviting individuals from the neighborhood boards and individuals who have helped coordinate block events recently and other concerned community members in Audubon, Columbia, and Waite Park Neighborhoods to this meeting.

If you have a specific concern, such as a problem address on your block, please call your Crime Prevention Specialist at (612) 673-2874 to discuss the issue, before the meeting.  We ask you to do this for two reasons.  First, we do not want you to wait for the meeting to report concerns; and secondly, we want to research information, so we can answer your questions and at the meeting.

We thank you for your commitment to building a safer community for yourself, your family and your neighbors.
