This month’s guest speaker was Ron Ward, Assistant Monitor, Seattle Police Monitoring Team. He explained the role of the Monitoring Team in Seattle Police Department’s process of complying with the consent decree following US Department of Justice’s 2011 finding that SPD showed a pattern of excessive use of force and biased policing. DOJ got involved after receiving a petition signed by thirty-three Seattle community groups in 2010 requesting it investigate these alleged abuses. Read his comments in section 1 of the meeting minutes, below. Also at this meeting, the North Precinct Captain, David Emerick gave context around the experience with SPD that Seattle Times journalist Danny Westneat had in late October following a car prowl when his family located the thief’s car via cell phone GPS. Read about it in section 2 of the meeting minutes. The minutes are here: http://www.pinehurstseattle.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2014-11NPACMinutes.pdf

Take Back Your Power – Investigating the “Smart” Grid Hot Yoga Inc.
For a bit of background, “Smart Meters” generally refers to Advanced Metering which Seattle City Light is currently investigating. There was a Forum at the Northgate Community Center in August with about 60 attendees. I wasn’t able to attend but I reached out to City Light for more info on that forum as well as the plan for the neighborhood. And here’s some more info from them:
Looking for an alternative to the Pacific Northwest Ballet’s production of the Nutcracker? This local, family-friendly production at a fabulous price is a great way to celebrate the holiday season. It’s sized-down; its excerpted nature makes this performance more child-friendly and non-artsy-boyfriend/girlfriend date-worthy. After the production, guests may take photos with the performers! Of course, sweets will be served. Ticket prices per show: $10/pp, $9 seniors, under 12 free Tickets are available at Lake City Community Center (cash or check) or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/894109]
Some people are reluctant to call 911 because they are concerned that the person(s) about whom they called will know they reported them. You need not be concerned about this. When officers make contact with a person about whom you called, it is not typical that they will tell the person, ‘Mrs. Martin over at 3001 said you were causing trouble over here.’ While it is preferred that a person provide their normal contact number so the police can call back to verify information, it is not necessary. The important thing is to report the activity. Further, you can request that your name not be disclosed. You can also request to remain anonymous. And, you can also request that officers not contact you in person. If you are concerned that you will be identified as the person who called 911, just relay to the call take that you don’t want your name disclosed and you don’t want contact. This concludes our series on reporting suspicious behavior. Remember that it is always better to report a person or situation and have it turn out not to be a crime or hazard than to not report and find out later a crime was in fact committed. By the way, you won’t get in trouble for reporting something you feel is suspicious and upon checking it out, it is discovered that nothing was amiss.
