Summary of January CAPS Meeting

GWCA: January 19, 2016 CAPS Meeting, Beat 1912. Sulzer Library. Minutes by Linda Brummer-Welsh

The meeting was a quick one hour represented by 6 officers. The audience was mostly from the Damen-Belle Plaine and Lawrence-Hermitage areas this time, where murder and shootings took place recently. There were only 15 people in attendance.

Regarding the 1900 W Belle Plaine murder, the investigation has not been finalized so they can’t speak freely yet but Officer Clark said that is was an isolated incident, not gang-related. The police asked the building manager to ask the tenants who held the party to vacate; they did this week. Police had received no prior complaints from this building. Jim Poole from Ald. Pawar’s office was involved in getting the building manager to act. The guy who died did have past gang ties but not recently and no one else involved had gang ties, as far as the police know. The parties involved were not from Chicago, but a far south suburb. The reason for the incident is not public yet but it involved 3 shooters and one woman with a knife. Public disclosure and an announcement of possible charges are forthcoming.

The Lawrence-Hermitage shooting is gang-related. No charges yet. They think though that it was gangs from other areas driving through, spotting each other and began shooting.

Homeless people living under via deducts near Ravenswood were described as menacing by a resident, who asked what could be done. Call 911 to report. If possible, police will escort them to a shelter. Shelters do not allow in drinkers though and that’s what keeps many of them on the street. Officer Clark said that homelessness is up throughout the entire city. Someone mentioned that a number of halfway apartments have been bough and closed, emptying many on the street. Salvation Army closed a 300 bed facility in Uptown too.

Overall, major crime for 2014 to 2015 in Beat 1912 is down 19%. Major crime for the last 30 days compared to last year at this time is down 24%. Officer Clark commented that it was due to vigilance of the community. So, keep it up.

They independently mentioned diesel fumes by way of another question. They do ticket any busses violating the ordinance. If the residents on Clark continue to have problems, they should call 911. It will be on record.

–Come to CAPS meeting, I have a flyer that could be emailed or posted on FB. Next one is March 15th.

–The topic was Theft prevention. They said: Keep photos or serial numbers of your valuables, drills, jewelry, bikes as it can help identify Hot items. Pawn shops must record items that they sell with the police to be cleared for sale. It’s the only hard evidence that police have to identify and recover stolen items. Written police reports are generalized, i.e.. a diamond ring = clear stone on metal band. Also, register your bikes.

The officers described burglars cutting holes in garage doors, fishing for the red cord handle and pulling it, gaining access. They recommended cutting the red handle off of the electric door opener door release cord and keeping doors locked. I have an Information Bulletin handout.

–Don’t leave any items visible in your car. They will break in for 50 cents.
