Minors who assault people are arrested and prosecuted - I know from personal experience. The process is different from the adult system (rightly so), but it is a law enforcement process and it works, if only to introduce minors to the criminal justice system and to other, more experienced mentors...

Terri Janine,
Also, there is a widely-held perception that it's a waste of time to call the cops on minors, because the system doesn't do anything to them. Would you please raise this issue with the Commander as well and let us know what he says?
I recall a woman from MPD speaking at the civic association about a year ago saying this same thing ("little can be done because they are underage") in response to concerns about the misbehavior (stealing) of kids on Flagler. In any case, I'm hoping that he'll disavow me of that notion, which that lady cop reinforced in my mind. I fear, however, that he won't.
Thank you!
Patrick

Teri Jane:Has MPD analyzed the case that was reported on the listserv a couple days ago - the resident who was attacked and claimed to have called 911 but no police showed up for two hours? It's the sort of thing they should be able to verify. Part of me wonders if it's true; In my experience they are always quick to respond, especially to a call about an assault. It's anecdotes like this that lead some people not to bother reporting crimes, so I think it's important to verify it. If it's true, MPD should acknowledge the failure and state how it plans to remedy it. If it's not true, it's important to reassure the community that if they call 911, MPD will respond.Kevin

All:
As we learn more about recent incidents in Bloomingdale, I and others are receiving other reports from other individuals who say that they have run into this same (apparently) group of young boys and girls in the neighborhood, and that they have been assaulted or threatened. It seems likely that not all events have been reported to us at the MPD.
I am therefore asking that if anyone has been a victim of any activity or knows about anything assaults or other activity committed in the area by groups of kids they get in touch with us.
Lieutenant Randy Griffin is the supervisor for all MPD efforts in PSA 501, and I ask that you use him as your point of contact if you have information we can use. His email address is included here.
I also was in contact last night with Cmdr. Jacob Kishter of the Third District, and he reports that in 3D there have been similar incidents. We will work together so that all MPD efforts have a centrally focused point of contact.
3D and 5D share a border along 2nd Street, NW, and in the Monday night incident where we stopped several young girls, we learned that they live in the 200 block of W Street, NW, which is in the Third District.
We remind everyone again to please call 911 to report any type of criminal or suspicious behavior so that we can take the appropriate steps.
Thank you,
Andy Solberg
Commander, 5D
