PSA 402 Meet & Greet 2009

The Fourth District PSA 402 had a community Meet & Greet on February 18, 2009. Ms. Mary Sanford and Commissioner Judi Jones (4B07) presented the Officers and Officials of PSA 402 a certificate of appreciation, for their hard work and dedication to the job.
Many residents of PSA 402 were presented with a certificate of appreciation for their hard work and dedication to the community we live and work in.
Special thanks to the ones who organized the event (Ms. Mary Sanford & Commissioner Judi Jones), and those who contributed to the event (various community members, Peaches Kitchen, PSA 402 officers & officials, and evening staff of the Fourth District Station).
A/C Diane Groomes and A/C Peter Newsham joined us for this festive event. Commander Linda Brown greeted the community, but had an emergency meeting to attend in PSA 404.
Thank you to those who were able to attend and hope the ones who were not able to will be able to make it to one in the future.

President Obama visits PSA 402

Obama has busy final day before taking office as Bush says farewells

President-elect Barack Obama dashed across the city on his final day before taking office as he paid tribute to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and called on Americans of all ages to perform acts of service to help the government rebuild the fabric and the spirit of communities across the nation.

"Given the crisis that we're in and the hardships that so many people are going through, we can't allow any idle hands," Obama said. "Everybody's got to be involved. Everybody's going to have to pitch in. I think the American people are ready for that."

As tens of thousands of citizens arrived here from all corners of the country, traveling to the capital to see the inauguration of the 44th president just before noon on Tuesday, Obama opened his day by visiting wounded troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and concluded it by honoring his former Republican rival, Senator John McCain.

"We will not always agree on everything in the months to come, and we will have our share of arguments and debates," Obama said, speaking to a bipartisan audience at one of three banquets he attended on Monday evening. "But let us strive always to find that common ground and to defend together those common ideals, for it is the only way we can meet the very big and very serious challenges that we face right now."

While contributors flocked to black-tie dinners, other revelers filled the Mall, eager to catch a glimpse of the spot where Obama will be sworn in. Though Washington became virtually mired in gridlock, there seemed to be more waving flags than blowing horns as people navigated the city's crowded corridors.

Obama delivered a few test runs of his Inaugural Address, which advisers said would be about 20 minutes long. The final draft of the speech was largely written by Obama himself, after he studied several previous addresses that were given at times of great challenge to the nation.

"I'm not going to make a long speech," Obama said as he entered Calvin Coolidge High School on Monday afternoon to take part in a community service project. "I've got to save my best lines for tomorrow."

His appearance a few hours earlier at the Sasha Bruce House, a shelter for homeless teenagers here, allowed Obama to make good on a promise to become more involved with his new home city, even as he showed his stripes as an ordinary guy in the process. With a paint roller in one hand, he joked, "This is good practice, because I'm moving to a new house tomorrow."

Deborah Shore, who founded the shelter 34 years ago, said later in a telephone interview, "He painted very well, I might say." She added: "They have said that they're going to have a different relationship with the city than has often been, a deeper, closer relationship. I think this is proof of that."

In his final day in the White House, President George W. Bush was out of the spotlight on Monday. He spent his morning on the telephone calling the leaders of Brazil, Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Russia and South Korea. Bush also spoke with Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico.

A White House spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, said the president had thanked the leaders for their cooperation and hospitality over the years.

In one sign that power in Washington is about to change hands, the White House issued a quick correction on its statement late Monday afternoon about the selection of Alan Lowe, a former National Archives official, as director of Bush's as-yet-to-be-built presidential library and museum.

The statement originally went out by e-mail, under the customary headline: "Statement by the President." Two minutes later, the White House sent it out again, under the headline "Statement by the Bushes" — a reflection that the library is not a public endeavor, but a private one.

MOTORISTS FACE MORE THAN PEDESTRIANS ON SPEED AWARENESS DAY(S)

On November 18th and 20th, 2008, in response to traffic concerns voiced by local residents and schools officials alike, officers of the Metropolitan Police Department (Fourth District, PSA 402)conducted “Speed Awareness Day(s)”.

Riggs Road NE as well as Kansas Avenue NE are two major thoroughfares traveled daily by inbound/outbound Maryland commuters. Because these two arteries have been widely criticized by area residents due to speeding, special traffic enforcement was given to these two routes.

Students in grades 3 thru 6 from area schools such as: LaSalle Elementary School, Roots Public Charter School, Ideal Academy, and Hope Charter School, took an active role in bringing attention to “speed awareness.” Participants from the mentioned schools displayed hand-made posters highlighting the flagrant disregard (some) motorist display by speeding through school zones and, by failing to observe pedestrians. In addition to the attention grabbing posters, students also verbalized their frustrations to motorists by chanting “SLOW DOWN” as they drove by.

As a result of intense traffic enforcement during Speed Awareness Days’, MPD Officers issued dozens of moving infractions, including violations for: speeding, use of cell phone, and non-use of seat belts.

Disobeying traffic regulations will not be tolerated in the District; in an effort to uphold traffic rules and regulations, PSA 402 officers will continue to conduct sporadic traffic enforcement along these and other routes in the future.

For information on how to have a Speed Awareness Day at your school please contact Officer Heather Straker at (202) 715-7418 or heather.straker@dc.gov

Halloween in PSA 402

On the eve of Halloween 2008 the Riggs LaSalle Community Center was overflowing with kids in costumes, parents, grandparents, MPD, and Recreation staff.

With more then 100 children the contest for the best store bought and home made costume was hard to choose two winners.

The older kids enjoyed a haunted room while

the younger ones sat and listened to ghost stories

and played musical chairs.

Thanks to Ms. Campbell and Ms. Kingsberry there was plenty of candy for EVERYONE!!!

The staff at the center served hot dogs and chips while MPD handed out the candy.

The Halloween Eve Safe Haven turned out to be such a great success and it was very safe for everyone.

Captain Anthony Poteat Retires after 25 Years of Service

Anthony M. Poteat began his career as a Patrol Officer with the Metropolitan Police Department on October 17, 1983.

After completing his training at the department’s Police Academy, Anthony Poteat was assigned to the Third District where he worked diligently to uphold the law and build strong community relations. Anthony’s hard work did not go unnoticed during his tenure at “3D”; he received the coveted “Officer of The Year” award as well as an award for “Outstanding Community Relations”.

Within five short years, after completing (and passing) the Sergeants Exam, Anthony was promoted to Sergeant.
Working in the capacity of a Sergeant, Anthony Poteat was assigned to the Fourth District where his dedication to the community continued. As a Sergeant at “4D”, Anthony worked in various divisions such as: the Vice Unit & the Motor Tact Unit. On March 16, 1992, Sergeant Anthony Poteat traded in the three stripes that adorned his uniform, replacing them with one bar. The bar represented Anthony’s hard work and continued commitment to the people of the District, as well as, his newly earned title of Lieutenant.

“Lieutenant” Anthony Poteat was transferred to the Fifth District where he stayed for seven years. During his years at “5D”, Anthony worked in several different capacities from “Administrative Lieutenant” to “Community Services Lieutenant” to “Weed and Seed Coordinator”. Although Anthony had successfully joined the rank of Lt., his ambitions encouraged him to continue to strive for more. Once again, on January 5, 1999, Anthony traded in the insignia on his uniform that identified him as a Lieutenant, for the two bars that are earned upon becoming a Captain.

The position of a Captain carries with it a different set of challenges and responsibilities than that of the “Beat Cop”, but, challenges and responsibility was no stranger to Captain Poteat. Assigned to the Second District in his new role, Captain Poteat continued to exemplify all the qualities of a natural leader. At “2D” Captain Poteat quickly became a community favorite; his time at the Second District would be short lived; an even more honorable position was soon to come.
On March 11, 2000, Captain Poteat accepted an offer to become Commander of the Fifth District. Under the leadership of (then) Commander Anthony Poteat, the 5th District community experienced the highest reduction of “major crime” citywide, coupled with, the highest closure of homicides citywide.

Prior to returning to the Fourth District, where Captain Poteat served the department and the community up until his retirement, he was assigned to MPD’s Youth Division.

Thank you Captain Anthony Poteat for your years of service to the PSA 402 Community.
