February 2009 - PSA 305 Meeting Notes

Brian Card, CSNA's Public Safety Chair, provided the following notes from the PSA 305 meeting, February 3, 2009, at the Housing Finance Agency. 
 
Present:  Third District MPD (MPO Wilson, Ofc. Coleman, and Captain Snyder); 2 Representatives from Howard University Police, 1 Representative from CSOSA; and 7 residents.

The meeting started at 7:18 after waiting for various community members to arrive.  The MPD officers (Wilson and Coleman) stated that Lt. Jova was unable to come and the Captain would be there. 

 
Captain Synder arrived after the meeting started.  He stated that he had started in the 3rd District in Nov 2008 and was the Shift Watch Commander for PSAs 303, 305, 307, and 308. 
 
 
  

 

 The MPD were questioned when we would see the other Lt for PSA 305 (Lt. Burley Sanders).  MPD stated that his status was "not full duty" and that he would not be on the street, and only on desk duty.  When asked if we would be staying with two PSA 305 Lts., Captain Snyder said yes. 
 
MPD provided general stats for crimes this month compared to previous month:
  • Assault w/ Deadly Weapon down 25%
  • Burglary down 20%
  • Theft down 48%
  • Theft from auto down 57%
  • Theft of auto down 29%
  • Violent Crime down 12%
  • Property Crime down 48%
When asked how that compared with previous year, same month period they provided stats:
  • 2008 Property Crime was 83 incidents – 2009 was 47
  • 2008 Total Crime was 101 incidents – 2009 was 63
  • 2008 Violent Crime incidents was 18 – 2009 was 16.  
In general, crime is down, the MPD attributed this to increased foot patrols and other efforts. 
 
The December 24, 2008, incident on T Street was the only particular incident discussed.  This was an event described in some of the list serves as an incident involving 20 young people involved in a prolonged street fight where bricks, and pipes were wielded, and a knife. 
 
Neighborhood email list postings also described damage to two parked cars (one with blood on it).  The email list described the MPD response as in-adequate.  
 
Captain Snyder stated that there was one arrest of a female related to the incident for disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer.  The captain stated that there were no other arrests or charges.  Captain Snyder stated that there was a fight that occurred on the 1900 block of 9th Street, and that the fight re-occurred on T Street. 
 
Captain Snyder stated that they were not able to verify that the fight came from a particular establishment on 9th St.  Captain Snyder stated that he has asked Jova to set up a meeting with the businesses on 1900 block of 9th St.  Captain Snyder also stated that Lt. Jova was asked to contact the residents of T St. for witnesses. 
 
MPD present at the meeting expressed no knowledge of a knife at the incident, while John DeTaeye, from Councilmember Graham's office discussed an email from the community describing a knife being placed under a car by one of the individuals involved, as well as blood on the car.  MPD was questioned as to why there was no police report for this incident.  MPD present seemed to be unaware of some of the details described in the list-serves.  John DeTaeye provided the MPD with the individuals from the email list posting that should be contacted.
