Auto burglaries - GPS

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to take this time to inform you of a recent problem we have
been experiencing throughout District. We have been having a number
of reports of auto burglaries. In most of these cases the preferred
item has been GPS systems which are mounted to the vehicles
windshield. I would suggest that if you have this sort of device, you
remove it entirely (suction cup mount as well) and place it out of
sight when not in use. Also, please don’t leave anything valuable
(laptops, purses, etc.) lying in plain sight when you are away from
your car. Let’s not make it easy for them.

Thank you,

NOPD Community Outreach Coordinator - 2nd District

Hello,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sergeant Robert

owners. To that end, I will be personally available to answer your
questions and relay your concerns to the District Commander, Captain
Darryl Albert and Chief Serpas.

I will be attending your neighborhood meetings along with my Quality
of Life Officers, Wilfred Eddington and Edgar Staehle. However, you
may feel free to call me personally, at the numbers provided below,
anytime you have a question or a concern.

In conclusion, I would ask that you please forward me a copy of the

July 2010 Recovery Data

See this Article from the Times Picayune: http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2010/07/new_orleans_post-katrina_popul.html

NorthWest Carrollton is probably closer to 80% recovered than 89%.

We still have a significant number of houses that are:
- under repair or
- boarded and not being worked on or
- empty lots.

The empty lots are from:
- houses that have been torn down, many against the opposition of the neighborhood, some because they were allowed to decay beyond all hope of repair before something was done or
- the February 2007 Tornado or
- the Post Katrina fire that took out almost the entire block Carrollton-Fig-Dublin-Pritchard Place.
