The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department's Board of Police
Commissioners will host a meeting on Wednesday, July 18th, at Harris-Stowe
State University in the Edison Theatre building beginning at 7:00 p.m.

The Commisioners are seeking input on the incidences and impact of
crime in our neighborhoods. Earlier this year, I met separately with the
Mayor, Jennifer Joyce, Chief Mokwa, the judges of the circuit courts
and the Commissioners to address how a concerted effort can be made to
quell the increase we have seen. These meetings are a result of some of
this dialogue.

I have noticed through the list servs that there is mounting
frustration-a fact I passed on to the aforementioned offices. I also suggested
that they join the listservs to keep a finger on the pulse of our
citizens. I have also seen that most of your n.a. presidents have had safety
meetings. The July 18th meeting is an excellent opportunity to
systematically lay out your concerns and contemplated actions to secure you
neighborhoods.

Please plan to attend. I look forward to seeing you there.

Rep. Robin Wright-Jones
63rd Legislative District
