Hennepin County Tackles Juvenile Crime
There is an interesting post over at Hennepin County Taxpayer Watchdog, the blog started by Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson a few months ago. Although the blog deals mainly with exposing government waste at the county level, this post highlights some important changes to how Hennepin County deals with juvenile delinquents and how these may contribute to keeping juveniles from re-offending, ultimately saving lives AND taxpayer dollars. Mostly these changes have to do with process--keeping low level offenders from the hardened juvenile criminal pool so that the low level kids don't upgrade their skills.
The plan seems results oriented and evidence based. It does appear that increased emphasis on juvenile enforcement (see the bottom portion of this week's 4th precinct highlights for examples) has helped Minneapolis stem a tide of crime that it experienced a few years ago and has contributed to the overall decrease in violent crime (statistically, in the city overall). There are always new trends and new avenues to pursue in cracking the problem of juvenile crime. It's good to see that Hennepin County is thinking outside the box. It's important to remember that keeping a kid from a life of crime isn't just preventing a negative. Society gets the benefit of all of the positive contributions that one human being can make if they just stay out of jail and don't commit crimes.

Falling Crime Rates Discussed on TPT2's Almanac

Sentencing in false rape charge against MPD officers
This happened (or was alleged to have happened) two years ago and I wrote about the initial story here. The MPD went the full yardage to prosecute this case, that was obviously so damaging to the reputation of the officers in question and to the force as a whole.
The MPD media office (Sgt. Jesse Garcia) sent out this memo and a second one, mentioning that the sentencing for Ms. Farkarlun will happen today at 2pm.
---------------------------------
Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 8:16 AM
Subject: Falsely Reporting Police Misconduct
All,
On July 28, 2007 Officers Paul Gillies and MiQuel Barnes were accused of raping Trisha Farkarlun while on duty after sending Farkarlun from 2101 Vincent Ave. N. Farkarlun presented at North Hospital and gave a SARS nurse the details of the CSCR. The SARS nurse contacted the MPD and Sgt.'s Troy Schoenberger and Catherine Johnson responded from Internal Affairs to conduct the criminal investigation and the subsuquent internal administrative investigation.
Very early in our investigation we determined that not only was Farkarlun lying about the incident, but that there was solid evidence in the form of GPS data and squad MVR recordings showing the time and location of the squad at the time of the alleged CSCR. Based on the evidence, we submitted the case to the Minneapolis City Attorneys Office for consideration of charging Farkarlun with Falsely Reporting Police Misconduct. The City Attorneys office charged Farkarlun and for the past 3 weeks the case has been in trial.
On Monday July 20, 2009, the trial concluded and the jury deliberated for approximatly an hour before returning the verdict of GUILTY against Trisha Farkarlun. It is expected that today (July 21, 2009) Farkarlun will be sentenced.
Of note in this case is that as if the GPS and MVR evidence was not enough, Officers Gillies and Barnes twice provided voluntary DNA samples to prove their innocence, first to to BCA and the second time to an independent lab selected by defense attorney Jill Clark.
Hopefully this case shows that while the MPD is committed to holding officers accountable for their actions, we will not tolerate false reports of police misconduct and when physical evidence is available to prove that allegations are false, the reporting party will be held accountable as well.
I appreciate the support of the Chief's office throughout this case as we moved forward with charging Farkarlun in this case.

Northside follies with Johnny
Regular readers of the crime blog know that I often refer to the Johnny Northside blog for first hand and close to the ground accounts of regular ongoing crime news in his part of the 4th precinct. Johnny's now twittering his crime watching from his vantage point in the Hawthorne neighborhood. Last night he documented the takedown of an ersatz bordello. He's also had an ongoing discussion of the fate of the Uncle Bill's property (a derelict convenience store that was shut down in part due to nuisance complaints by the neighborhood) closer to my neck of the woods. He's even got a contest going about when the building might finally meet the wrecking ball.
And another H/T: he recently noted that the MPD police radio is now available online.
And another H/T: he recently noted that the MPD police radio is now available online.
MPD Citywide Highlights now up to date
Not sure when it happened but the MPD citywide highlights stopped being posted regularly for awhile. They've been sent out on various city lists but not posted online. In the past, I had time to convert the doc files I got from my email lists to pdfs, upload them and post them myself but my work schedule hasn't allowed me to do it. I kept hoping that the MPD would dedicate some staff time to putting them online again. Well they have. You can view this week's highlights here.
The weekly highlights are a great resource for those of you who don't live in North Minneapolis' 4th precinct that publishes it's own highlights. There are a few incidents listed from each precinct (usually the major ones of the week) and there are a compendium of stats YTD for the week, with trends noted. It's a great snapshot of Minneapolis Crime and we're lucky that the MPD devotes staff time to assemble and publish it.

We had some fun this week in Uptown.
The SA on the corner of 22nd and Lyndale (Kitty-corner from the Wedge), a late-night shooting Wednesday, in the parking lot. Seems to be a drug deal gone bad. 3 people were shot, one in the hand, one in the leg, and one in the center of the torso, a pregnant woman. Don't know how she or the baby is doing. MPD arrested at least 2 people, and recovered 2 guns.

We need our Community Partners to get the word out. Let everyone on your block know;
1. Lock your garage doors and make sure they shut completely as you're leaving. Don't be in such a hurry that you drive away while your garage door is shutting. The door sensors may trip and leave your garage open all day.
2. Keep your garage doors locked and shut even when you are home. We have had people working in their front yards be victims of garage burglaries. They leave the garage open after getting gardening tools out and go to the front yard. The opportunist walks through the alley and sees the open garage and in seconds takes a bike.
3. Keep your house doors locked even when working in the yard. Don't leave your front door vulnerable and unlocked while you work in the back yard.
4. Watch for ANY suspicious activity/behavior on your block. If you see ANYTHING suspicious please call 911. Don't be afraid to use 911 to let us know something suspicious is happening on your block. You are our partners, we need you to call.
5. Be a good witness. Get as much description as you can. Observe any physical features of suspicious parties, clothing, vehicles, tattoo's, license plates and any other information that can help us locate or identify the person. I have attached a good form to have handy to make notes on what you saw.
6. Attend or start a neighbor Crime & Safety Committee meeting. Be informed and help keep your neighbors informed.
7. Make sure your motion lights work and that when they go off at night, you or your neighbors pay attention to why they went off.
8. Cut down foliage that is blocking lines of site. We need you to be able to watch out for your neighbors and your neighbors to be able to watch out for you.
9. Stay in contact with your neighbors and welcome anyone who has recently moved in (or those you haven't met yet that have been there for a while).
10. Lock your windows and if you dont' have AC or have to leave them open use window sash locks or pin your windows.

A homicide added to the total for 2006
I wasn't blogging back then and looks like Rambix, who was, did not note it, since it probably didn't make a lot of news. This child death was ruled a homicide and it looks like witnesses eventually came forward which put pressure on the suspect (the child's father) to admit his guilt.
------------------
Charges filed in 2006 homicide
July 13, 2009 (MINNEAPOLIS) Criminal charges have been filed in the August 2006 death of 27 month old Malaya Rae Douglas. Her father, Pierre Lavontae Gray (DOB 4/4/91), has been charged with:
· MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE (felony) (while committing child abuse)
· MURDER IN The FIRST DEGREE (felony) (While committing domestic abuse)
· MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE (felony)
According to the complaint, in the months leading up to Douglas’s death, Gray had been trying to potty train Douglas and would get very angry whenever she would have an accident. These accidents would lead to Gray disciplining Douglas by “whooping” her with a belt or whatever he could get his hands on. On the evening of august 27, 2006, Gray become angry at Douglas because she had urinated on herself. Gray started to beat Douglas with a belt and then with a broom. Gray was observed swinging the broom like a baseball bat, striking Douglas while she cried “stop daddy” numerous times. When Gray finished, Douglas fell to the floor looking weak and pale. Shortly thereafter Douglas started to vomit clear liquid and her skin color started to change. Paramedics were called to the scene and Douglas was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center were she died a few days later.
In a statement, Gray admitted to investigators he hit Douglas repeatedly over several hours before police were called.
Homicide Detectives Scott Larson and Chris Thomsen reviewed this case and uncovered additional information leading to new witness statements that ultimately led to Gray’s admission. This additional information was essential in bringing these charges forward.
Patterson is currently in custody outstate. A current booking photo is not yet available.
