The neighborhood beat meeting with Officer Primak our beat officer is held the second Wednesday of of the month. The next meeting will be May 13th at 7 p.m. at Julian Middle School. I am encouraging everyone in the neighborhood with concerns and questions about the incident that involved 2 teens from 216 South Lombard to attend this meeting and ask their questions.
I have spoken with Officer Primak and advised him that this will come up as an issue and that he should be prepared to respond to everyone's questions and concerns. He will be bringing his supervisor to the meeting as well. Please attend this meeting to show your concern. I've asked Officer Primak to specifically address what actions the police department will be taking to improve the safety of our neighborhood, to advise us of when the court dates are for the 2 teens so that we as a community can be involved, and to assure us that there are no weapons at 216 S. Lombard, and that the guns that were found during the most recent incident were indeed confiscated and taken out of circulation.
We had approximately 60 signatures on our petition that we gave to the Housing Authority last week, with their assurances that they are aware of the situation and can't really share information with us but we should trust that they are working on it. In short, I have no specifics to share with you.
Thank you
