MVSNA Calls for Action on Park at New Jersey Ave and O Streets, NW, July 12, 2006
Dear Director Flowers:
There was crime meeting held last night at the 2nd Northwest Cooperative Housing complex
(400 Block of N Street NW), which is adjacent to the park at New Jersey Avenue and O
Streets NW and is Department of Parks and Recreation property. The meeting included
Assistant Chief Peter Newsham, Inspector Patrick Burke, and Lieutenant Ralph Neal, among
others. Carlson Claptor, the neighborhood service coordinator, also attended. The focus of
the meeting was a recent murder in the neighborhood and a surge in gang violence, however,
a significant portion of the meeting was spent discussing public safety concerns stemming
from the park, which we have previously brought to your attention.

It is our understanding that last week MPD held its "open season," which may result in

how these staffing changes will affected our area at the forum tomorrow night at the Second

presence in the future.
