There is a pre-survey that can be found at https://tinyurl.com/33b6jvn6

At this meeting, the Boston Police will give us an update on local statistics as well as make a special presentation from 7 to 8 PM regarding COMPSTAT, a collaboration between the police and the community which incorporates the community as a key partner in keeping our neighborhood safe. COMPSTAT has traditionally been an internal meeting where Boston Police Department leaders discuss current crime trends and patterns in all of the City’s districts and coordinate our planning to strategically address them.

The meeting will be approximately one hour long. The PowerPoint presentation will last about 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of questions and discussion. We will review citywide crime statistics, District E-5 crime trends, and provide an overview of the work and role of the Community Service Office.

Your participation will allow BPD the chance to review critical information and to explain what we do and why, and it is also a chance for you to help us better understand the issues and resources that are most important to you and the members of your community.

“I encourage everyone to attend this meeting if you have specific questions about crime and public safety to ask the representatives of the police,” wrote WRCIA President Dan Durant. “There will be several Boston Police command staff and community service officers present to discuss your concerns, and to introduce a new initiative to have the community more involved with working together with the police. Coffee and refreshments will be served and the presentation itself will last about an hour depending on how long the community Q&A lasts. A brief survey from the community service office is attached and we are asking you to take the time, before our meeting, to fill it out. It will only take a few minutes and will help the police immensely in preparation for this important meeting. A followup survey may be sent after the meeting is over. Our regular agenda will be very quick and may be waived until after this presentation. After the presentation, we will have updates from our local elected leaders, and discuss old and new concerns/business.”

Following the presentation, we will hear reports from the mayor's office and city councilor's offices; old business and new business. Please make every effort to attend this special presentation.
