Hello all, I won’t be at the meeting tonight. Phuong will be representing me. I got rear-ended and suffered a mild concussion. My doctor asked me to rest.

Jogger Stabbed to Death Near DC's Logan Circle
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Woman-Stabbed-Near-Logan-Circle-in-NW-DC-493686641.html 

I believe many of us may have heard about this news and others in the past. Lately we have seen an uptick in violent crimes (homicide up by 36%)  in city and it may be good idea to hear about the initiatives the Mayor's office and MPD in particular has taken to increase public safety and prevent crimes, and capture and prosecute suspects. And about the community policing initiatives and outreaches to build trust between community and police department, and actual police presence in many parts of the city. 

With respect to surveillance, in many incidents it appears the street cameras are not there and/or of not good quality to capture the visual of the suspects. 

Also we have no or little street cameras to capture speeding vehicles, running red-lights etc. In fact, I had mentioned about these issues to Councilman Brandon Todd at an event. 

Wondering what Chair Tinpe, Director Do and Members of the commission see how we raise our serious concern. 

Perhaps an advocacy letter from Chair and the Commission to the Mayor's office, MPD, and cc to Mayor's Office on AAPI Affairs and other relevant agencies. 

Would love to hear other's ideas and thoughts. 

Thank you.

Thank you, John.

Will certainly get in touch with ANC Chair and attend neighborhood meeting too. Thank you.

Niranjan,

Please get in touch with your ANC Chair John Fanning, 2F...@anc.dc.gov to discuss better safety in your neighborhood.

In Chinatown , Penn Quarter violent crime is at an all time low. In the National Mall , in the last 20 years, it was always unsafe, now I see joggers at 4 am. Every neighborhood is different and always has been . But the safety of every neighborhood is the utmost importance. Please attend your neighborhood monthly meeting which takes place Wednesday, October 3, at 7 pm, at Studio Theatre.MPD representative will be there to give a report and answer questions.

Best wishes,

John
