A message from Inspector Schafer
All,
Thank you for another great week in crime fighting. We have experienced a 27% reduction in week-to-date crime, and a 4% reduction YTD in overall crime Downtown. Proactive work continues to increase by double-digits each week, with 80-100% of your efforts in our focus areas during peak times. In my numerous meetings with community partners and business representatives in the downtown area, I have heard nothing but positive comments. We will remain focused on the Nicollet Mall from 1000-2200 hrs. and the Warehouse District from 2200-0400 hrs as well as an overall focus in the Loring Park community, 13th to 15th/Lasalle to Nicollet. These are and will remain our priority.
This week we were also happy to receive (2) new Police Segways, compliments of the DID and hard work by Shane Zahn.
Our Youth Outreach Tent on Nicollet Mall during Thursday's Farmer's Market has been a great success and will continue through the summer. It is staffed by our Police Explorers, PAL, Crime Prevention Interns and our School Resource Officers. Stop by to visit with our young people at 7th and Nicollet.
Please keep up the all of your good work and have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
Regards,
See it, Own it, Solve it, Do it!
