Each week, the District saturates a different beat with police personnel. They first canvass the beat and note all crime and disorder problems. Based on what they find, they zero in on a specific block. All of this is done in close collaboration with people who live on the block. In fact, police and residents hold strategy sessions on the very streets where the problems are occurring.
Police regularly return to the beat to report on progress and get feedback from residents.
Community response has been enthusiastic. I demand you come and get me out of the house. I think that's phenomenal. Because the beats rotate each week, the entire district is covered several times a year. All rights reserved.
