I have noticed a very significant drop-off in police presence in
Mount Pleasant and find it extremely disconcerting.  Not only do we
appear to have fewer officers than after the infamous shootings just
one month ago, but it seems that we have even fewer than BEFORE.  The
last three times I have walked the length of Mount Pleasant Street I
haven't seen a single officer.  This is not acceptable, and I'm sure
our PSA meeting on Tuesday will be, well, animated to say the least.

Chief Ramsey, Mayor Williams, Councilman Graham, where are our
police?!!

What is up with our neighborhood?!?  Shots fired /pointing assault
rifles at people / murders ad nauseum.

I feel like I am caught in a game of Grand Theft Auto...

These punks can do whatever they want with no fear of the law.  Their
only fear is retribution by their own kind.  MPD should treat each of
these murders as if it were a cop that were killed.  We would
certainly get some results then.

Is it the sheer numbers of murders that desensitizes everyone to
these crimes? Murder used to be something that was considered
intolerable and every resource was used to find the culprits.  When
did this cease to be the norm in this city?

Washington, DC - Four bills directed at reforming the District's
juvenile justice system were introduced in the past month for
consideration by DC Council , buttressed by a 42-page omnibus (B15-
0537) submitted by Mayor Williams that would provide for sweeping
changes in the way Washington processes its youngest offenders.  The
bill comes several months after a scathing Washington Post series on
the DC system, the Mayor's subsequent July 16th proclamation of
its "serious dysfunction".

The timing of all of this legislation coincides with a string of high-
profile juvenile activity, including the gunning down of a football
star in front of Anacostia High School, multi-day brawls at Ballou
High School, and a spike in deadly gang incidents in Northwest DC.

Common themes throughout the bills include process improvements for
the transferring juveniles; increased responsibilities placed on
parents and guardians of offenders, including provisions for punitive
damages; reduction in the age for juveniles to be tried as adults;
and long-overdue victims rights provisions, which allow victims to
follow the progress of their cases.

DC Council also scored small victories for fed-up residents and
victims rights advocates with the introduction of the Juvenile
Justice Act of 2003 (B15-0574).  The bill, written by At-large
Councilmember Phil Mendelson, and co-sponsored by CMs Graham (Ward 1)
and Kevin Chavous (Ward 7), seeks to amend the DC Code to add
provisions aimed at protecting the public and to hold parents and
guardians responsible for the actions of their children, subjecting
them to punitive damages.  Chavous has also introduced a related bill
(B15-0460) that will give DC the authority to fine parents and
suspend their drivers licenses, while reducing the age for a child to
be tried as an adult. CM Brazil (At-large) introduced a bill (B15-
0573) to establish a task force to recommend improvements to the
juvenile system.

discussion with computer technology to ensure that every voice is heard.

I cannot stress enough how important it is for Ward 1 to be well-
represented this Saturday at the Mayor's Citizen Summit.  Attendance
numbers will be a strong factor in how the Mayor decides to
distribute the city's limited budget, so let's fill more than our
share of those chairs.

Signing up online is easy at:

I hope to see you there.

Last year, DC Action for Children -- as part of our
election work -- conducted a ballot effort around budget priorities for
children, youth and their families.  "Cast your vote for kids," as the
initiative is known, encouraged residents and others of all ages to
select their top three budget priorities -- the winners were k-12
education, after-school/recreation activities and child care.  While we
did ask respondents to identify the ward in which they lived, there were
a significant number of "unknowns."  51 respondents, however, did note
that they lived in Ward 1. When we analyzed the results, what was
significant was the age breakdown, not the ward data.

We can send (mail or e-mail) copies of the report to anyone

I encourage all of you, especially those in leadership positions elsewhere in
Ward One or Third District, to call Presiding Judge Kramer's chambers to express
your disgust and frustration.  She heads the Criminal Division of Superior Court
and in effect is Judge Winfield's supervisor.  Her chambers number is 879-1286. 
She's out of town until Thursday (I learned by calling myself), but I left a
message with her (very polite) law clerk.

Judge Kramer has a reputation for actually caring what neighborhoods think about
the Superior Court and its judges, so I'm hoping this might have some chastening
effect on Judge Winfield, even if it can't change what she's done for this
particular defendant.

By the way, I can't confirm this is true but I'm also told by another
knowledgeable source that Judge Winfield a couple of years ago sentenced a
defendant to 5 years for a felony -- but tacked on only an additional 2 years
for the attempted murder of the police officer who actually caught the guy. 
Cases like these make you wonder why the police bother at all.

Alan Roth

Argh. What's the point of worrying about whether or not our police
officers actually arrest anyone for committing crimes, when they
aren't going to go to jail anyway. Since we basically don't have any
law enforcement in this city, what's the smart thing to do? Arm
ourselves to the teeth in anticipation of the impending apocalypse?
Just kidding -- but you'd think that at the very least they could be
trying to err on the side of TOUGH rather than EASY when the whole
city is freaking out about crime.

Just for fun I searched the internet on Judge Winfield's name.  Guess
this isn't her first time letting them off light:

http://www.2ndamendment.com/Miscellaneous/News/20030709-6.htm

On the night of March 25, a criminal named Bernard Johnson did his
best to kill D.C. Police Detective Anthony McGee. Then, on June 4, a
judge named Susan Winfield did her best to avoid punishing Johnson for
his attack.
...
Thanks to the remarkable generosity of D.C. Superior Court Judge
Winfield, Johnson will serve only two years in prison for shooting a
cop. It's far less time than it will take McGee to recover fully from
his wounds.

Graham to Mr. Altman to Mayor Williams deserve BIG praise for the The
Heights Plan.  From the sculptured lawn to the custom bus stops to
the kids' fountains, I think it is really cool.  excellent work.
Everybody, including me, would like to see 'this instead of that' and
try to change stuff.  But, I can tell a huge amount of creative
thought, care, concern, and many, many hours went into this plan.
good job.  Please let me know where I need to be with my shovel to
make this thing a reality.

I agree emphatically with Rich.  CRIME is still the issue that
plagues this area more than any. I would venture, however, that it is
crime generally, not just gangs, that is a big problem.

Personally, I have absolutely no gripe with police.  My street is
relatively safe.  As a young man, I am not targeted as often by
criminals as a 'victim.'  And, I have had the pleasure of meeting
some officers in the line of duty who made me feel proud to live here.

But, anecdotally I hear all the noise from other ListServes, stories
from freinds/neighbors, and occassionally witness police exhibiting
highly unprofessional behavior in public (though they are
rarely 'seen' in the city).

Sadly, the MPD/Mayor/Council do not understand the gravity of the
situation, as citizens see it. It is apparent that there are some
SYSTEMIC problems in the police force -- just read the example of the
man who was mugged and the police did not go try to find the
criminals even though the victim told the police the exact location
to which the criminals fled [Columbia Heights ListServe 11/11/03].
This is just SHODDY police work.  No one can deny it.  But, unlike
other professions, Police work is serious.  You are dealing with
peoples lives, their families, their neighbors.  Everything you do,
or fail to do, counts.  I feel there are some awesome officers out
there, but with so many anecdotal situations like the aforementioned
that come up every week, one begin to question how the system is
operating.

But, if a citizenry concedes in unison that it does indeed sense a
systemic problem, where does a community begin to address the
systematic police problem?

I have complained to an official that Ramsey makes no attempt
whatever to speak out or calm or work in any public way to address
citizen concerns.  I understand he is not in Public Relations.  But,
then again, he is.  He must answer to the literal cries for help that
have gone out over the past year.

Sadly, even Ramsey's bosses and those that assist our Mayor don't
realize the extent of the problem.  I am providing below an exerpt of
an interview with the Mayor's assistant about attracting 100,000 new
residents to the district.  NOTICE how this, an administrator to the
Mayor, sees the issue of crime:

"...[As for crime,] it's obviously a concern. Everybody is focused on
that. The mayor is, and the police chief is. But it hasn't come up as
a factor that's deterring people" [from moving into the city].

Who is this gentleman kidding??  I can count on my fingers how many
people will not come into Columbia Heights because they feel this
area is so unsafe.  There is a perception out there about how raw
this city in certain areas.  And although we all know crime is not
what our colleaques in Fairfax like to dramatize it as, CRIME IS VERY
MUCH AN ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING PEOPLE TO TURN AWAY FROM OUR CITY.  And
yet, we have officials who say it's 'not really a factor that is
deterring people...'

I propose two things:

1) begin enlisting officials to assist us in making the MPD more
transparent (how many officers, what kind of training, where do they
live, how many arrests per day, what are the minimum qualifications,
what is protocol in a still unfolding mugging, what is the protocol
in a shooting, what is the protocol for witnesses, where - and in
what form - should citizens address concerns ( is there a form to
file a complaint? )

2) have public officials if they believe there are problems.  We have
never heard from the Mayor or Ramsey or other administration
officials whether they believe there is any kind of problem.  When
citizens ask the question, as we have in the past, officials should
respond.  Then, at least, we will know that [as an example] that
hypothetically Ramsey has told us 'no, there is no problem.  crime is
down 8400% percent and officers are trained to national standards and
can be dismissed for cause according to such and such criteria.'
At least then we can begin a dialoque with the city.  If they
continue to ignore, or leave unanswered, questions and concerns by
citizens, we at least know that we are being underserved and should
take appropriate steps to find new officials.

3) implement COPS ON THE BEAT (COB).  Unlike NYC or Boston, Citizens
and visitors to our city rarely see cops.  There are no foot patrols
and citizens never come in contact with these fine men and women.
Perhaps this would preclude the need for PSAs if we could get Patrols
back into the neighborhoods and areas such as Mt. Pleasant, Dupont,
Columbia Hgts. Metro.

I am sorry for my long diatribe, but these are the thoughts --
straight off the top of my head -- that I have been thinking about
for a long time.  I am glad that this group has allowed me the
opportunity to help make this fine city an even better place.

Thanks.

Chad

Subject: [WardOneDC] Residents Livid as D.C. Burglar Avoids Prison Time
(Washington Post)

Here's a good example of a Ward 1 story...

This armed burglar has been linked to burglaries in multiple
neighborhoods throughout the Ward.  Superior Court Judge Winfield has
decided for us all that 90 days in jail was sufficient punishment for
a man who has terrorized at least 29 homes.  Residents are up-in-
arms, but where is the outrage from our city leaders on this?

This is just another glaring example of how our criminal justice
system is letting us down on a daily basis.  DC to criminals, DC to
criminals, come on in... we're open for business.

A Northwest Washington man tied by police to 29 burglaries has been
sentenced to 90 days in drug treatment by a judge who rejected
prosecutors' calls that he receive significant prison time.

Friday's decision by D.C. Superior Court Judge Susan R. Winfield has
outraged community activists, who say the burglar plagued
neighborhoods for four months until his arrest in July. Police said
he stole thousands of dollars' worth of computers, jewelry and other
items.

Gregory E. Scarborough Jr., 25, whom police dubbed the "Second-Story
Man," confessed to scaling brick walls and breaking into the second
and third stories of apartments and homes throughout the Logan
Circle, Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights neighborhoods, police said.
Authorities said that Scarborough admitted to 11 burglaries and that
evidence tied him to 18 others.

"The Logan Circle community is horrified," said Mary Brown, a member
of that community association's board. "He terrified people
here. . . . To put him back on the street after he conducted this one-
man crime wave doesn't respect the needs of the citizens to have a
safe place to live."

Winfield initially gave Scarborough an 18-year prison term but
suspended that sentence and ordered that he instead undergo a 90-day
drug treatment program and then be released on probation.

Residents have been complaining ever since, with many venting their
frustrations in a series of community e-mails. D.C. Police Chief
Charles H. Ramsey also complained about the sentence's effect on
police morale and crime deterrence during a meeting yesterday with
D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Rufus G. King III, according to law
enforcement sources.

Winfield said yesterday through a court spokesperson that she could
not comment on a pending case. The judge is scheduled to hear a
report Nov. 21 from court supervision authorities on whether they
have located a spot for Scarborough in the city's overburdened drug
treatment programs....

Dominic,

My greatest concern is the growth of gang-related incidents in the
Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights triangle.  Not only are
these incidents growing in number, but also in the level of
violence.  We have teenagers running amok on bicycles armed with
guns, knives, stones, etc.  It's making myself and other MtP
residents more nervous about walking the streets.  Not to mention
the added friction that could develop between the Hispanic and non-
Hispanic portions of our community.  These incidents are getting
more and more media attention which sheds a negative light on our
communities.

I felt that the Resolution adopted by ANC 1D was terrific and
addressed many of the issues in the MtP community.  It was good to
see the gang-related incidences specifically and clearly addressed.
Hopefully, this will result in greater action by the MPD.

Once this issue is properly addressed, I'd like to see more emphasis
on economic growth within Ward One.  Do you know the status of the
proposed Target and other shopping that is to be constructed by the
Tivoli theatre on 14th & Park?

> Any opinions out there?

How about the Unaccountability of monetary responsibilities in the
city....? Where can I get a DC Gov't credit card on which I don't
have to pay the balance, nor, provide justification for spending the
peoples' money?

Explanation on why DC has one of the worst public education systems
in the free world....yet we spend more per capita per student than
any other state?

What does the boxing commissioner do in this town? Why do we pay for
such a position?

Taxi cab commission?

Where is the over site for the DA's office? Why can't we keep violent
criminals off the street? I bet if a councilman/woman was robbed by
sawed off shot gun, there'd be quick  changes to some of these lax
laws on the books...

ADAMS MORGAN ADVISORY NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMISSION (ANC) VOTES UNANIMOUSLY
TO URGE THE D.C. COUNCIL TO AMEND
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC)
LAWS TO EXCLUDE CITIZENS GROUPS
AND INDIVIDUALS FROM THE SO-CALLED
"VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT" PROCESS


Advisory Neighborhood Commission members
representing the Adams Morgan neighborhood
(ANC 1C) voted unanimously last night to urge
the D.C. Council to amend ABC licensing
regulations to effectively limit the negotiation
of so-called "Voluntary Agreements" with
licensee businesses to the affected ANC,
to the exclusion of small and unrepresentative
citizens groups and informal groups of as
few as three or five individuals, as current law
allows. The commissioners plan to make this
proposal to the D.C. Council at public hearings
to discuss proposed new ABC regulations
scheduled for later this month.

In August, the Mount Pleasant neighborhood
ANC (1D) voted unanimously to request that
the ABC Board void the so-called "Voluntary
Agreements" between all eight neighborhood
licensee businesses and a small neighborhood
citizens association which include prohibitions
on music, dancing, entertainment, DJs, and
cover charges. These restrictions also prohibit
licensees from selling their businesses to buyers
intending to continue the operation of an ABC
licensed establishment, as well as restrictions
prohibiting advertising. The restrictions in the
Mount Pleasant neighborhood currently remain
in effect as the ABC Board has so far refused to
review the matter or respond to the ANC resolution.

The resolution adopted by the Adams Morgan
ANC states that "Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) protest procedures under current law
often result in unnecessary or unfair delays,
costs, and expenditures of time by the ABC
Board, ABRA [Alcoholic Beverage Regulation
Administration] staff, [license] applicants, and
protestants." ANC 1C Chair Alan Roth argued
in favor of the resolution, saying that "the current
system is broken" and results in an "undemocratic
process" which is "too cumbersome." Several
representatives of the Kalorama Citizens
Association (KCA) voiced opposition to the
resolution during public testimony prior to the
ANC vote, arguing to preserve the legal standing
of citizens groups in the licensing process and
calling the ANC proposal "a disgrace." Other
residents characterized the current so-called
"Voluntary Agreement" process as "punitive" to
businesses, "unfair" and "not balanced."

Andrew Kline, General Counsel for the
Restaurant Association Metropolitan
Washington (RAMW), pointed out that
so-called "Voluntary Agreements" are not
a licensing requirement, even though the
assumption has grown that businesses must
negotiate such agreements with license
protestants. ABC Board Chair Charles Burger
recently clarified that licensees are not obligated
to sign a so-called "Voluntary Agreement" at a
community forum last month. However, local
nightlife supporters point out that license
opponents hold venue owners hostage, even
before they open for business, by demanding
that they sign restrictive and, in the case of a
new license application, preemptive agreements
through the threat of lengthy delays in licensing
approval or even the refusal to approve or renew
a license.

Community advocates of ABC regulatory reform
have argued that these restrictive agreements
are coercive and exceed statutory law by creating
new regulations with no legislative sanction or
"balancing tests." They further argue that
opponents of nightlife abuse the regulatory
process to infringe on the long-traditional
role of restaurants, bars, taverns, lounges,
and nightclubs in the nation's capital as venues
for music, culture, social expression, and
community life without regard for First Amendment
protections, due process, and equal protection.

Good stuff, Dominic.  But, the links run behind the ad on the page
so you can't click on them easily.  Any way that we can post the
links onto the group home page?

Thanks for including me!

For your review and comment.  To other ANCs: please feel free to adapt and

problems.



ANC 1D Resolution on Cooperative Enforcement Strategies in Mount Pleasant



(DRAFT and UNADOPTED, for review only)



Whereas, The quality of life and collective sense of security for residents
of Mount Pleasant has been severely hampered by an unnecessarily high threat
of violent crime on our streets; and



Whereas, Rates of several types of violent and non-violent offenses,
including assaults, robberies, harassment, auto thefts, thefts from auto,
destruction and defacement of property, and others, remain consistently
unacceptable; and



Whereas, The frequency, timeliness, quality, level of detail, and
completeness of crime information disseminated to the residents of Mount
Pleasants from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) hinders the
formulation of collaborative crime abatement strategies between residents
and police; and



Whereas, Crime mitigation plans proposed by MPD at PSA meetings have thus
far proven to be poorly conceived and/or inadequately executed, and have
heretofore yielded insufficient results; and



Whereas, Mount Pleasant residents have expressed concern over the negative
effects of an apparent policy of lenient enforcement as relates to "minor"
crimes and infractions, on the quality of life in our neighborhood, and



Whereas, The District of Columbia's response to recent increases in gang
activity has shown no sign of curbing the proliferation and organization of
gangs in and around Mount Pleasant, which is underscored by a series of
recent fatal gang-related shootings, and



Whereas, Many residents of Mount Pleasant, particularly those residing near
the intersection of Mount Pleasant Street and Park Road NW, have expressed
disappointment and frustration at the District of Columbia's failure to
effectively curb an open-air drug market, and



Whereas, Mayor Anthony Williams recently stated that a tolerance for petty
crime often leads to larger crimes, and



Whereas, Criminal activity and anti-social behavior is in direct conflict
with the spirit of our multi-cultural, tolerant, and progressive community;
a drain on the resources, the economy, and standard of living for all
residents; and an imminent and real threat to the safety and well-being of
our children;





RESOLVED, That ANC 1D requests that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)
provide a permanent resource for taking minutes, facilitating, and
monitoring the progress of each PSA meeting, and that MPD present a written
report at each PSA meeting on progress made on each active strategic action
plan, and



Resolved, That ANC 1D requests that MPD provide weekly electronic reports of
all call and arrest activity and provide detailed electronic reports of all
violent crimes committed in PSA 410 (future PSA 301) no more than 24 hours
after they occur, and that MPD provide the ANC with daily roll call figures,
including the number of Spanish-speaking officers on each shift, and



Resolved, That, starting on December 1, 2003, ANC 1D calls on the government
of the District of Columbia to implement a policy of consistent and strict
enforcement of offenses in Mount Pleasant not apparently previously enforced
in an adequate manner.  Such offenses will include, but will not necessarily
be limited to: assaults of all types, threats to do bodily harm, disorderly
conduct, destroying or defacing public or private property, throwing stones
or other missiles, unlawful assembly; profane and other indecent language,
lewd, indecent, or obscene acts, cruelty to animals, public intoxication,
possession of open containers of alcohol, prostitution, nuisance properties,
drug-related nuisances, littering, illegal dumping, aggressive panhandling,
truancy, violations of curfew, unlawful entry on property, abandoned or
junked vehicles, double parking, and speeding.  The time between the receipt
of this resolution and full implementation shall serve as a test and
education period, during which less-serious violations will result in
issuance of a warning in lieu of legal summons and/or arrest.  All violent
offenses and other serious property offenses shall continue to be strictly
enforced and prosecuted to the fullest extent provided by the law, and
without issuance of warning, and



Resolved, That ANC 1D reiterates its commitment to its position that
officers serving in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood be trained in respectful
and appropriate interaction with persons of limited English proficiency,
minimizing conflict and friction between the police and non-native-born
persons in the neighborhood, and that it will recommend the immediate
removal of any officer or agent of the Metropolitan Police Department who is
proven to have physically or verbally abused any resident of or visitor to
the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.

Nice idea, Dominic. This will be a good spot to vet critical issues
and generate discussion, which will be helpful for a slow decision-

Also, it'll be a fresh start - maybe I'll be able to keep up with the
emails this time (unlike the 7 other yahoogroups I belong to).
