At this month’s meeting the Captain handed out compilations of the responses to his question ‘what are your public safety fears?’. We will study them and devote the May meeting to discussing them with the Captain instead of having a guest speaker.
Our new Crime Prevention Coordinator, Elizabeth Scott, elizabeth.scott@seattle.gov, 206-684-7711, has begun work. She was formerly an administrator for the Bomb Squad and the Police Officers’ Guild. Next meeting we will be discussing community needs with her. Soon she will be up and running to help us set up block watches, do home security audits, speak at community council meetings, etc.

- Residential burglary down 11%
- Robbery down 34%
