North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes – March 2014

This month’s guest speaker was Assistant Chief Joe Kessler, head of the Patrol Operations Bureau, which oversees all five police precincts. He was very complimentary of the officers and commanders of our North Precinct.

Captain Emerick reported that all crime types in the precinct are down except for auto theft. He is putting an emphasis on this crime and has asked for help from other police units. Interestingly, on his Captain’s Log – http://www.seattle.gov/police/precincts/north/captainlog.htm – Pinehurst has a couple spots on his list of  areas experiencing the greatest number of auto thefts:

• All surface streets surrounding the University of Washington and Frat Row
• The Northgate Mall and surrounding businesses and park and ride lots
• The 12300 block of Roosevelt Way
• The 11500 block of Lake City Way
• Greenwood Ave from 90th to N.E. 115th St.
• The 4200 block of Aurora Ave and the 2 blocks to the east and west

The Captain asks that we keep our eye out and report any suspicious activity to 911.
