1. New Year Start with Garage Burglaries in Audubon and Windom Park
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. This is our first newsletter since last year.
I want to remind everyone that we will be sending out the newsletter every other week for the winter. However, we will have constant updates on www.EastsideDefender.com so visit any time you want. If you have any crime/safety related news, links, etc., please send them to me for posting or sending out in this newsletter.
Onward!
There has been an increase of burglaries of garages in eastern Windom Park & Audubon Neighborhoods. Since January 1, the following burglaries of garages have occurred over night at the following:
° 26xx Benjamin – through unlocked door
° 22xx Benjamin – by defeating lock by prying
° 22xx Taft –by defeating lock by prying
° 23xx Roosevelt –through unlocked door
What you can do:
Review your home security and take steps to improve it:
° Install high-security strike plates with 3” screws and deadbolt locks on exterior doors. Locks should have a 1” bolt throw, case-hardened cylinder guard, and tie screws on the inside.
° For door locks within 3 ½ feet of a window, install a double-cylinder deadbolt or reinforce the window with a grille, polycarbonate, a security storm door, etc. (Note: City ordinance does not allow double-cylinder deadbolt locks for multi-unit rental housing.)
° Turn on your outside lights at night, and consider installing exterior motion-detector lights that illuminate all potential entry points to your home and do not cause shadows.
° Keep shrubs, bushes, and hedges trimmed to a height of 3' or less.
° Leave a radio on when you leave home. Use light timers, so your home looks occupied.
° Don’t open your door to anyone you don't know.
° Have your mail and papers picked up, lawn mowed, and walks shoveled when you are out of town.
° Secure basement windows with screws, grilles, or bars.
° Secure other accessible windows with pins, keyed locks, or track fillers.
° Keep garage and home locked at all times—even when you are home or in the yard.
° Call 911 if you see suspicious activity, such as someone checking doors and windows on a neighbor’s home.
If you have any questions about home security or would like to have a premise survey of your home done, call Crime Prevention Specialist Carol M. Oosterhuis (612-673-2874).

4. Who’s been arrested, 12/28/0 through 01/4/09
---------------------------------------------------------------
This information is gathered from public records. Information is believed accurate as of the date of this newsletter. The individuals listed here have been arrested and booked into Hennepin County Jail between the above dates. They are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. When this list reaches you, the listed charge(s) may no longer be pending, and/or the individual may not have been found guilty.
Part of the reason we publish these arrest records is to let you know that although many criminals may come into our area from other places, and then leave after they rob us, assault us, burglarize us, steal our cars, sell/buy drugs etc., we want to point out that a significant number of “alleged” criminals live right here, next door to us.
Please note that the information listed in public records may be false or inaccurate, and that a margin of error may exist in the reporting, transcribing or printing of these records.
Source: Hennepin County Sheriff’s Jail Roster (http://www4.co.hennepin.mn.us/webbooking/)
If someone listed here lives near you, you may check the previous criminal history of the person at this website using his name and birth date.
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (https://cch.state.mn.us/)
Many of the addresses criminals give as their residence are rental units. And many of these property owners do not do background checks before they rent to someone. In addition, many times these properties do not even have a valid rental license.
If you would like to check the ownership of a property, get the contact information of the property owner, or check if it is licensed for rental, click here: http://apps.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/AddressApp/SearchByAddress.aspx?AppID=PIApp
If you find a property that is being used as a rental but not licensed, please call 311.
Information presented in this order: Booking number, Name (last/first/middle), Address of Arrestee, Date of Birth, Date and Time of Arrest, Previous Convictions if any found, Property Owner of Arrestee’s Address, and Current Charges against Arrestee.
Make sure you let the property owners know your concern about them housing criminals next door to you. Please don’t let them get away with profiting at your expense. Send them a letter!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, please file Community Impact Statements on these criminals. If you don’t take the time to do it, don’t expect a reduction of criminal activity in Northeast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much to the volunteers that give their time to do this research for benefit of Northeast residents.
NOTE: When a date says “No arrests to report,” it does not necessarily mean there were no arrests that day for our area. It only means we could not find them. This happens mostly when a criminal lies to police and gives a bad address, or a data entry mistake for the zip code.

5. Northeast’s Most Troublesome People
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wanted to put a face to the name of a person you read about in this newsletter being arrested--over and over?
Now you can. The 2nd Precinct CLEAN sheet gives names, pictures and other information about the Eastside’s top 13 problem people. At the top of the CLEAN sheet gives information on how people get selected for placement here.
The purpose of the list is to keep the public informed as to the custodial, probationary and warrant statuses of our area's chronic livability offenders. The inclusion of photos will also allow people to associate names with faces and assist in our efforts to gather community impact statements for court. Remember that the people on the list are not necessarily wanted by the police and citizens should not call 911 on those individuals without active warrants.
Here is the link to view the latest CLEAN sheet.

Community Impact Statements:
Community Impact Statements are descriptions of the impact that a crime or crime pattern has had on the people who live, work, and visit where it occurred. These statements are submitted to city/county attorneys or other appropriate officials to help the courts make decisions about sentences for offenders convicted of the crimes. Impact statements may provide information that will not be found in police reports.
Who can write a statement?
Anyone in the community may write a community impact statement. You do not have to be the direct victim of a crime or have personally witnessed the criminal activity in order to submit a community impact statement.
When I have an opportunity to submit a Community Impact Statement on a crime or an arrestee, how do I find out?
If you are signed up for the email crime alert program from the Minneapolis Police Department, your Crime Prevention Specialist will occasionally send information about individuals with open cases and will direct you to the City Attorney’s website to complete a community impact statement on a misdemeanor crime or the County Attorney’s website to complete a community impact statement on a felony. You may also go to the city and county attorneys’ websites and review the information.
The City Attorney’s webpage is at:
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/attorney/impact-statements.asp
The County Attorney’s webpage is at: http://www.hennepinattorney.org/cpMapMinneapolisNeighborhood.aspx?prec=2
The Hennepin County Attorney’s website also allows you to provide feedback on crime in your community, not connecting the information to a specific case.
To sign up for the email crime alerts from the Police Department: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crimealert/signup.asp
When you sign up, you will receive information on community impact statements along with crime alerts, seasonal tips, highlights in the police department, and notices about safety programs in your neighborhood. You will receive about 1 – 2 emails each week.
What type of cases may I submit a statement about?
The City Attorney’s system contains only misdemeanor cases prosecuted by the City of Minneapolis. Most of the cases involve livability issues such as: Consuming in public, public urination, loitering with intent to buy or sell narcotics, lurking, and disorderly conduct.
The Hennepin County system contains information about felony cases such as: Murder, Felony drug possession, Felony property cases, Weapons, Property Damage.
Hard Copy of Impact Statement.
You can print off this impact statement and fill out: http://www.necpreports.org/news/impact_2ndprecinct.pdf to submit this statement or if you have any questions at all, please contact; Carol Oosterhuis, Crime Prevention Specialist, 2nd Precinct (612) 673-2874 Carol.Oosterhuis@ci.minneapolis.mn.us CC: info@nepatrol.org
