Police District Changes Take Effect

January 10, 2019

At last night’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1A meeting, Fourth District Captain Sean Conboy — who is new to the Fourth District — briefly discussed the changes to the Third and Fourth Police Districts announced last month and informed the assembly that they take effect today, on January 10th. He also stated that no staffing changes are being made right now, so essentially the same manpower will now be focused in the same PSA geographic areas (though those area’s boundaries have changed). The Mount Pleasant neighborhood moved to the Third District.

To assist with what areas are impacted and what the Police Service Areas boundaries are, refer to the two maps below. You can also find contact information for officers on the Fourth District Roster, available here.

Homicide on Newton Place Sunday Night

September 11, 2017

On Sunday evening at approximately 9:30 p.m. there was a shooting on the 600 block of Newton Place, NW. There is currently little information that is available at this early stage of the investigation other than that the victim succumbed to their wounds.

Like many Park View neighbors, I am deeply upset and angry that I have to share such information considering all the advocacy and reporting many of us in the community have done to shed light on the many public safety issues the community faces on this block, and at other locations in our section of Ward 1.

I am committed to working with MPD leadership and Mayor Bowser to address any shortcomings which contributed to last night’s tragedy — whether they be from MPD, other responsible agencies, and/or leaders who have been entrusted to keep our neighborhood safe.

I encourage anyone who may have information about the shooting to share it with MPD. Information can be shared anonymously by TEXT to MPD at — Text: 50411

You can also use the anonymous tip line information below.

Anonymous Tip Line (202) 727-9099 — This number is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Callers may request to remain anonymous.

MPD Unveils Sector Concept

January 4, 2017

Yesterday, MPD announced that they would be implementing a city wide sector model to improve response times. Below is the full announcement. You can read the accompanying FAQs here and see the sector model maps for Park View following the announcement.

Over the past several months, the Metropolitan Police Department has been working to broaden its use of a sector model. This model brings additional management accountability to districts and allows for faster dispatch, lower response times, and improved service to the community.

Under this model, each patrol district is divided into three sectors with a sector being an informal grouping of Police Service Areas (PSAs). Each sector will be led by a captain, who will report directly to their respective district commanders. Sector captains will be responsible for their assigned areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Lieutenants will share responsibility for overseeing the PSAs and personnel in their sector on any given shift. Please note that officers and sergeants will continue to be assigned to their current PSAs under the sector model.

The sector concept does not eliminate PSAs. The PSA boundaries within 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, and 7D remain the same. The Fifth and Sixth Districts will have a small modification to their PSA boundaries within their District. These changes to 5D and 6D PSA boundaries are in line with MPD’s patrol strategy and are intended to support more efficient dispatching operations and decisions. Please see below for the modification changes. These modifications are scheduled to go into effect the first week of January 2017.

The sector model will not disrupt or alter MPD operations and activities, or services to the community in any way. This is an internal organizational change intended to better support operations. Additionally, as eligibility for retirement in the command ranks continues to grow, the sector concept affords the Chief of Police another opportunity to develop managers and assess Sector Captains for command staff positions.

Maps after the jump. (more…)

Three Shot, One Killed in Night of Violence

July 31, 2015

Nadeau on Lamont Street during public safety walk, July 20th.

Last night, one man was shot and killed just after 9:30 near Georgia Avenue and Lamont Street — an area that has continued to see an increase in crime over the summer. Earlier this year, I worked with residents, MPD, and DCRA to board up two vacant properties that were being used as drug dens, and numerous meetings over the issue have included a Public Safety Walk by Councilmember Brianne Nadeau on July 20th.

The other two victims were shot on the 600 block of Newton Place just after 10 p.m.

Below is the account from Fox5, which also includes a few photos.

 

WASHINGTON – Three shooting incidents have left three people injured and one dead overnight in the District.

Two of those shootings occurred in the northwest off of Georgia Avenue.

The first happened just after 9:30 p.m. Thursday in the 3300 block of Georgia Avenue. Police say one man was killed. Officers continue to investigate and have no suspects or motives at this time.

Two men were shot on the 600 block of Newton Place just after 10 p.m. Thursday. This shooting happened just two blocks off of Georgia Avenue and blocks away from the previous shooting. One of the men was shot in the back and the other in the foot. Both are expected to survive.

Police were then called to another shooting around 12:30 a.m. Friday on the 1200 block of Delaware Avenue. Officers say an adult male suffered a gunshot to the leg and was transported to a nearby hospital.

Police have not said any of the incidents are related.
