RE: [Highland Park] RE: POLICE ACTIVITY REQUESTED

I am so pleased to hear that you are taking action to address this assault on our neighborhood. I do not live in the exact area where these criminal and nuisance behaviors are taking place, but if there is anything else that we can do as residents of Highland Park, please let us know. We all have a stake in stopping this kind of activity, even if it is not in our own frontyards (yet).

The dealers don't even live there! In the 800 block, dealers are actually dropped off in the morning to "do business" and they leave at night.

WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE? Please explain to me? My husband and I have been fighting the good fight for 6 years, we've seen our supporting neighbors sell to slumlords because they couldn't stand it any longer. We need GOOD NEIGHBORS, NO BEER SALES, AND POLICE INTERVENTION TO GET RID OF THE DRUG DEALERS in order to fix things.

FYI: The new police recruits will be utilizing the Police Firing Range on Friday, February 25, 2005 from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm for the purposes of night firing. Just wanted everyone to be aware so that they aren't alarmed by the sounds of rapid gun fire. Sorry for the inconvenience that it may cause, but the training is absolutely necessary. RaShall M.

RE: [Highland Park] Police activity 2/14 around 10 p.m.
by Tony Piccoli 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

That sounds like a pretty reasonable time to be conducting such training, specifically if it's important to be done at night. In any case, it would probably be comforting to many to have advance warning. Thanks to Commander Brackney for continuing to monitor the neighborhood listserve and responding to issues of public concern.
