Below are notes from the IMPD North District meeting in February…along with notes from the MKNA Mid-North Public Safety Committee (MPSC)

IMPD North District meeting notes, 2/3/10

While burglaries continue to be the biggest issue, there have been several homicides this year already and several armed robberies.

There were 25 vehicle arrests in January. Bike and foot patrons in the area will increase when the new officers graduate.

ND is doing parole and probation checks.

The prosecutor’s office, using grant money, hired two staff members for the Burglary Enforcement Team. They will teach burglary prevention techniques and hold public sessions each quarter. They will seek burglary victims to come to sentencings to speak. They are just now getting their office set up and do not yet have a phone.

Lever Pulling, 4/7/10 at the State Fairgrounds. This all day event is for high risk probationers—resources, trainings, programs, etc., intent is to reduce recidivism.

The new Department of Code Enforcement is operational (www.indy.gov/dce)

Computers, monitors, printers and accessories can be dropped off at the Saint Thomas Aquinas church entrance during those hours. Tax receipts will be provided.

Computers collected in the drive will be donated to Wings for West Africa, of which STA member, Kathleen Lattimer is President. After being refurbished and having their hard drives wiped, the equipment will be sent to rural secondary schools in Senegal, West Africa where teachers are trained in their use and maintenance. Any broken or unusable equipment will be responsibly recycled locally by Work Force, Inc. For more information, contact Kathleen at 846-2722 or wafwings@wafwing.org.
