• As for lesser crimes, there were 6 hit and run and 5 destruction of private property.
• The blocks closest to Norfolk Ave. continue to bear the brunt of the crimes.

2nd Precinct Police Advisory Committee (PAC) Meeting on Wednesday, August 10, 2011

• Event Driven Activity – We had the hurricane, Rock & Roll and Shriners during the past 3 weekends. The police were fully staffed for all the events with the hurricane & Rock & Roll going very smoothly. Although 150 Hell’s Angel’s were in town for the Shriners weekend, the police had more issues with the shriners.
• 2nd Precinct Open House – The 2nd Precinct will hold an open house on Saturday, October 22nd from 11AM to 3PM (this is a change from 10/08). Participants will include all the city departments; Police, Fire, EMS, Library and several others. It is their goal to achieve a greater connection with the neighborhoods they serve. Captain Gallagher says the police will have all “the police toys” there…so bring the kids!
• “No Victims” – Last month a vehicle theft “crew” was captured and confessed to over 100 vehicle break-in’s. Very few of the break-ins had been reported so the charges against them could be dismissed! Please advise our members to REPORT ALL CRIMES NO MATTER HOW SMALL.
• “Dangerous Dogs” – The state has a registry for dangerous dogs, but thankfully none are reported in our zip code. The website is: http://www.virginia.gov/vdacs_dd/public/cgi-bin/public.cgi
