Sunday Safety Update: 07/12/2015 to 07/18/2015


There was much less reported activity, and for at least one week very little violent enough to make the press. You will notice the trend of car thefts and thefts from vehicles has moved a little bit south of Rotary Centenial Park, but it still remains in about the same area. Earlier maps showed more car thefts in that area, so please keep your cars locked.

You may also notice a lot of tagging centered around Gardenia and Cherry. This is two separate groups tagging the area. It is a different gang on Gardenia than it is on Cherry. The loitering on Anaheim and Walnut is a homeless camp. The loitering on 17th and Alamitos is much more serious, likely involving drug sales. 

All tagging has been reported for clean up. All dumped items have been reported for pick up.

Please keep your eye on the following three things: any out of place activity on Gardenia between 14th and 15th street. Keep all cars locked anywhere near Rotary Centennial Park, also on Dawson and Spaulding. And if you happen to pass the intersection of 17th and Alamitos, especially at night, be observant and be safe.

I am going to report every tree blocking a street light for trimming right now since 17th is now arguably the darkest street at night in the MacArthur Park Neighborhood, now that Gundry has been addressed. Also, so far this week up until Tuesday, all looks pretty clear. During our joint clean up, several neighbors who wanted to get involved in the area immediately around MacArthur Park did get in contact with us. We should be meeting more here pretty soon, as we're going to try for our first solo clean up next.
