Hello South Side Crime Busters (August 30, 2011)
August 30, 2011
Hello South Side Crime Busters,
Or, so I have dubbed all those that came to the meeting at Planet Altered. Here are the highlights I captured from the neighborhood security meeting held August 25, 2011 with Sargent Craig Joel as our guest speaker. Joel’s one liners are classic!
Big thanks to Julie Harris who dropped by with some samples of pepper spray. She is going to follow up and check that the % is adequate potency as it was difficult to tell from the packaging.
Please find Mary Eubanks notes below mine which have additional information.
Notes from Mary Eubanks
Non-Emergency number - 698-2525 - goes to dispatch
Tagging on street signs, photograph, locate and call 311 to report.
Tagging / graffiti on building (especially absentee owner buildings) call 311 to report and request City Code Inspection.
Existing Street / alley lights - Identify pole # and call 311 or EPB
Blocking of sidewalks is a violation, call non-emergency number? or 311? if this is a repeating event. Photograph offenders at each opportunity.
Document with Photos all incidents using smart phone with SeeClickFix.com app and web page (available for android, iOS, Blackberry)
(open to suggestions for alternate tools).
To give police the authority to move along vagrants etc in private lots or drives, post "no loitering" and "no trespassing" signs with TWO inch letters prominently.
Pepper spray is probably the best option for home and business owners to have at hand. Look for 10% Oleoresin Capsicum Possibly with dye. Organize sign up for bulk purchase with associations.

- “Don’t create an invitation for crime and keep your area well lit, cockroaches don’t like bright lights.” – Sgt. Joel
- “If you are accosted, focus on being a witness, starting from the head down. Note the color of hair, cap, tattoos, earrings, piercings, clothing and colors of clothing. Note height, weight and any unusual characteristics. Close your eyes and remember then write it down” – Sgt. Joel
