Cleaning Up or Neighborhood... GOOD NEWS!

Hello all,

Thanks to vigilant neighbors and the efforts of Chief Jan Easterling
and a team from the Dallas Police Department, our City Council rep
Sheffie Kadane, Sheffie's wonderful assistant Caroline Nosworthy, the
city's Code Enforcement team, crisis intervention officers, a dog
catcher, and NE service coordinator Lauren Anderson, a string of
successful arrests and related actions were taken in LFH during the
Thanksgiving holiday.

Apparently there have been long-standing issues in the locations that
were involved. Police are very pleased with the outcome of the
operation and expect that positive effects will be felt from it
throughout the neighborhood.

THANKS to you whose 911 calls, letters to City Hall, and other efforts
contributed to this victory in our neighborhood.

Please keep it up.

LFHNA also has a GREAT Crimewatch/Volunteers In Patrol team who
welcome your volunteer spirit, whether for a couple of hours here and
there or for ongoing involvement.

All best,
Christie

All of this was due to the neighbours banding together and working as a cooridnated team. Moral of the story ... use a gang mentality (more of us than there are of them), keep after the various city entities and don't give up. It took a couple of years but the end result is we won. Get involved, it's your neighbourhood!
