Safety Colition Meeting

Mar 08, 2004

Dear District Seven Block Watch Captains and Residents:

The District Seven Safety Coalition meeting for March is scheduled for Monday, March 15th, 2004 starting at 6:30 PM. We will be meeting at the Northwest Community Room, 7624 W. Capitol Drive, located next to American Donuts, in the Times Square Shopping Center.

We will start off with a review of crime that has occurred in District Seven during the past four weeks. We have invited a representative from our Vice Control Division to give a presentation on drugs current being sold and used in the city of Milwaukee. At last month?’s meeting, it was suggested that many resident do not know what street drugs look like, smell like or how they are packaged or sold. You are encouraged to bring your teenagers to this meeting so they too can learn more about illegal drugs.

Last month we announce that one of our own block captains, Ms. Cathy Grothe had been nominated for the City of Milwaukee?’s Citizen of the Year Involved in Crime Prevention award. I am pleased to report that Cathy won, but was unable to attend the ceremony last month. At this meeting, we are going to present the award to Cathy.

Our block captain?’s list is currently being updated by Kim Garvey, a college intern that works with Officer Lubus. If you receive a call from Kim, or can also get back to Officer Lubus vie her email address of slubus@milwaukee.gov. One of our goals this year is to notify captains via email rather than snail mail, as a quicker way to notify you of crime trends and meeting notices.

It was also suggested that tat the monthly meetings, captains that live in the same neighborhoods try and sit together so that they can get to know each and exchange information. We are going to try this idea at the March Meeting.

I hope to see you at the meeting, and as always we will have auxiliary officer in the parking lot for additional security.

Sincerely, Nanette H. Hegerty
Chief of Police
Anna Ruzinski
Captain of Police
