vandalism in River Park

Posted in: River Park
Over the last few weeks a number of incidents have occured that I find disturbing, especially in River Park. Last weekend someone spray painted the buildings at the park. Recently, lockers at the school were set on fire. Also, if you compare 1998 crime stats with those of 1999 there was a 50% increase in car vandalism. Anyone interested in getting involved with night patrol?

Police apathy

Since I leave for work @ 5:00 am,
night patrols are a little rough on me.
My question is what good does it do, when the police refuse to respond to vandalism complaints ? I have filed three reports in two years, documenting now over $4500.00 in damages and countless hours cleaning up the mess, and none of these complaints has ever been assigned to an investigator. Good luck.
