If you missed tonight’s meeting of the Averill Woods Neighborhood Association in Averill Elementary School on Lansing’s (MI) southwest side, then you might be interested that:
- Lansing Police Department Officer Jason Bock, assigned to the Averill Woods neighborhood, passed out crime incidence maps with icons indicating where crime reports have been taken. When questions were raised about other crimes in the neighborhood and where reports were taken, he shared that clerical staff had a backlog of police reports to put into the system. He also indicated that a new system has been installed where reports can be completed inside a patrol car.
- A senior MSU lanscape architecture student who volunteered to develop design recommendations for the Averill School grounds and nearby Averill Woods was introduced. She shared her plans to gather information and to report back. The area has been the source of fights, gunshots and late night group gatherings.
- With recent criminal activity concerns and reports in the neighborhood, Karen Chadwick, director of the 911 call center in the area described how her dispatchers take calls and how they assign priority to calls. They are assigned with one of three categories. The first being a call where a life is in danger, second where property is in danger and three for everything else.
- In another item, there were also reports of a large number of skunks showing up in the area. For those sprayed, ideas were exchanged and everybody in the neighborhood was advised on be watchful.
- Officers were also elected and a by-laws committee was formed.
