15th District PSA1 March Meeting

See Something, Say Something.

The PSA1 meeting at Frankford Jefferson on Thursday, March 21st had some neighbors come out to hear from 15th District Commander John Walker and area Lt. John Venit discuss the PPD’s efforts in our area.

With the exception of Aggravated Assault, Violent Crimes are down. Narcotics Task Force “SURGE” patrols have been effective, but property crimes are on the rise due mostly to the market for Catalytic converters.

There are still some issues but all are asked to report any Activity to the proper authorities,  PHILLY311 for L & I issues and other City Agencies, or Email the Lt. or 15th District Community Relations Officer for Crime related.   See Something, Say Something.

Also, the PPD will be arranging another Civilian Police Academy class, come out and see the How & Why of Police Service in Philadelphia.

The next 15th District PSA1 meeting will be held on April 18th at 7 PM at Jefferson Frankford Hospital, 4900 Frankford Avenue.

15th District PSA1 Crime Report

This report is for Frankford in the PSA1 area.  Frankford, between Bridge Street and Cheltenham Avenue, is in PSA2 and we can’t accurately break out those numbers.  There have been at least 2 homicides in that area so far this year.

Taking a different look at the numbers to see if there is a trend.

Comparing the last four years: More people are being shot so far this year. Burglary is going down. Robbery going down. Homicide about the same. Theft is going down.  Aggravated Assaults up.  Crime with firearms up.

No more arrests for vagrancy and loitering.  The theory is that this will free up the police to respond to more serious issues.

The bike patrols, as promised, have been implemented.  You will see them primarily between Brill and Arrott Streets and from Penn to Duffield. They do drop in to other locations however, I noticed a group down on Orthodox at Trenton Avenue last week.  The schedule varies so the bad guys can’t tell wen they will be swooping down on them.

Come to the next PSA1 meeting on September 22nd at 7 PM at the Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club at 1901 Bridge Street.  Find out what is really happening, first hand.

15th District PSA1 Meeting

The 15th District PSA1 Meeting will be held on Thursday, April 28th at 7 PM at Aria Hospital.  Come talk to Lt. Gordon and get some answers.  If you want answers, he is the guy.

septa cops

I met these guys last week.  They are SEPTA bike cops taking a break and disrupting the usual play at Margaret-Orthodox.  At the last PSA1 meeting, Captain Luca talked about greater cooperation between the City and SEPTA.

If you are not part of the solution, you may be part of the problem.
