The new Fourth District Commander is Commander John Damskey,

Soon there will be adding a new officer to handle all duties related to us. Her name is Lt. Laura Lanham.

Lt. Harhai sent the following message when we wrote about the concerns of people in cars casing the neighborhood.

Thank you. I will be passing this information on to our officers and to Lt. Laura Lanham who is expected to be on staff by the end of this month. Lt.

I just found a website called Crime Reports that shows you up to date [June
3 latest] crimes reported in our area and marked on a Google map. Shows a
lot of stuff we hadn't talked about in our meeting: a vehicle theft on
Nairn, assaults, burglaries, thefts [not sure the difference]. Even a sexual
assault of some sort on Amherst Ave. Amherst is a hotbed of activity,
according to this site.
