Citizens Aware Club Lock Giveaway

On Saturday September 20, 2008 the Citizens Aware Association held their annual yard sale along with a club lock giveaway. This event started at 9am and lasted well into the afternoon. There were a variety of items for sale, but the highlight of the day was the club locks that were given to DC residents at no charge.
The Citizens Aware Association had purchased 78 locks to hand out that Saturday, and almost all of them were distributed. The remaining seven were delivered to District residents who were unable to attend the event.
The Metropolitan Police Department would like to thank the Citizens Aware Association for their contribution to the safety of the 78 residents that received these locks. With their help 78 more vehicles are better protected and less likely to be stolen.

Riggs Park Community Day

Three dreadful words were used to describe the weather conditions for Saturday, the 7th of June……HAZY, HOT, and HUMID!!!
But, neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor hail…or in this case, extreme heat, was going to put a damper on a day of fun filled day that had been planned for the community of PSA 402 in the 4th District.

The Riggs Park Community day was organized by Officer Adriane Wilson and Officer Heather Straker; several committed citizens of PSA 402 assisted with the planning as well.
The exciting event which was held at the new Riggs LaSalle Community Center had lots of food and activities for all ages.

Many residents got their first look at the inside of the (new) Riggs LaSalle Community Center as they played basketball, table tennis, pool, & air hockey.
Other indoor activities that took place were: Hand Dancing, Bingo, and Face Painting.

EMS was on hand to take blood pressure and perform blood glucose testing.
Many children braved the outdoor heat as they enjoyed the five (5) moon bounces that were available.

The intense temperatures encouraged all ages to take advantage of the outdoor splash park, one of the many amenities at the new recreation center.

The Metropolitan Police Department (Special Operations Division) captivated the attention of the community by displaying some special equipment that many people may never have the opportunity to see up close.

SOD made available officers from Mobile Crime, Air Support, Mounted Patrol, and Harbor Patrol.

Officer from each of the above units arrived with their respective equipment.

Special thanks to the following Patrol Officers of MPD:
Officer Heather Straker (4D)
Officer Adriane Wilson (4D)
Officer Courtney Clark (4D)
Officer William Brandon (4D)
Officer Tracy Jackson (7D)

Senior Safety Seminar 2008

On Wednesday March 26, 2008 the Metropolitan Police Department Fourth District (PSA 402) along with the DC Fire and EMS Department hosted a Senior Safety Seminar. The event was held at Emery Recreation Center (5701 Georgia Avenue NW WDC) and there were over 50 in attendance. Topics of discussion for the fire department were Fire Prevention Safety Tips, the DC FEMS SAVU program, Home Inspection program, and much more.

MPD had a power point presentation which included tips on Safety while you are out, Safety in your Home, Safety in your Vehicle, and Safeguarding you Identity. We concluded with a project that shocked everyone. Three of our seniors provided us with their first and last name only.

A search on the world wide web resulted in quite a bit

of personal information. It was shocking to all that were there.

For those who attended and or participated, thank you very much.

MPD will be hosting a encore presentation on Saturday April 12, 2008 at Takoma Community Center (300 Van Buren Street NW) from 11am-1pm.

Hope to see some of you there.
