The beat meetings we used to have were informative and focussed on our specific beat -- in my case Beat 7. The new district meetings are too general. How can we revive the beat meetings?

Beat Meetings

Don, how can we achieve peace and harmomy in the world? When I moved here in 1980, Chandler was a place that you only lived in if you couldn't afford to live elsewhere. One did not drive on Elliot Rd unless you wanted your car torn apart - I have some hubcaps that I lost that are still there somewhere.

I never got burgelized, but many of my neighbors did. Call the cops, and both of them showed up.

Chandler is huge now, but the crime has decreased. Maybe all the criminals are looking at greener pastures in the newer areas.

I'm not sure what you want. The police raided an apparent meth place a couple of blocks from me some time ago. I see them staking places out from time to time.

What did you expect to accomplish with a beat meeting? Why not just call them if you want to? I have, and they always responded. Am I missing something?
