President – opened the meeting at 6:33 pm.
David indicated we were expecting 15 plus guest and that would make a quorum.
Speaker – Officer Johnson, Community Resources Officer:
Larcenies: In the last thirty (30) days, we had eight (8) car larcenies, 1 from a car stolen, and a catalytic converter stolen. Previous 30 days only three (3) car larcenies. To combat that, LT has authorized them to have an unmarked car. It appears to be happening in the 0400-0600 hours timeframe; unmarked car will be out there 2-3 times a week. Officer Johnson has been attempting to contact the victims and/or nearby neighbors to get camera footage; he can pick up and he can give to precinct detective who is pretty good at comparison to
What can we do as a civic league? Catalytic converters can’t be taken to junkyard unless car repair/dealer. Can ask politicians about that rule. Thieves are taking them to junkyard to get money for the platinum and by-product (rodium) which is now up to $27K/ounce.
VP to Officer Johnson: Two (2) to three (3) people have reported via NextDoor and/or non-emergency police line of person knocking @0100 and then leaving. VP will send photos to Officer Johnson. One (1) or two (2) people have reported on the non-emergency line. Police had indicated they know about the guy and that’s just what he does. One (1) non-member indicated he has one (1) or two (2) folks @0200-0300 knocking/asking for money but ask and leave.
WAVE: Officer Johnson indicated that folks are going over to Nouvelle @0200-0300 in the morning/when Wave closes, currently vacant, and continue to party. Wave put cones out to block off Nouvelle parking lot. Precinct Captain was out there and had no issue. They are having a car out there when Wave closes.
