Date: 01-14-2010 at 08:32 AM Question: I am a member of the Indian Hills Neighborhood. While many of us feel that having section 8 housing is important to the lower income individuals of Lawrence, we have noticed a huge jump in the crime rate for our neighborhood since the apartments near the neighborhood have been rezoned to section 8 housing. There have been numerous break-ins and some children in the neighborhood are afraid to walk home from school now because they have said that strange men in cars try to talk to them. During the day, members of the neighborhood have seen people driving around the neighborhood or walking through people's yards like they are looking for something. What can we expect the LPD to be doing to increase the security of our neighborhood. We understand that not all of the problems have occurred because of the rezoning of the apartments, but should an increase in the crime rate be enough of a concern that there may be an officer patrolling the area more frequently and not just at night? Answer: Please call 832-7547 to discuss possible solutions as this appears to be a problem that needs more detailed discussion. You can call the police department anytime you see something suspicious in your neighborhood. You can also contact our neighborhood resource officers with questions or assistance to setup a neighborhood watch program. 830-7408 | ||

Date: 01-11-2010 at 1:34 PM Question: We get the police called on us all the time for noise complaints but nine times out of ten the officer can't even hear us until we open the door. We've tried talking to our neighbors about letting us know if we're being too noisy but nothing has changed. Is there a limit to how many times one person can call in a false noise complaint? Answer: Officers must respond to all calls for service. You should work with your neighbors or landlord, if you are renting, to try to find a equitable solution. | ||

Date: 12-29-2009 at 08:52 AM Question: Someone broke into my car. I'm not sure how. I'm second-guessing and it is possible that my doors were unlocked. They got away with a few things, but nothing that is too valuable. I would like to file a report, but I'm not exactly sure how to do this and if it's worthwhile. But I believe it's important for the city to know the location so they can track crime and apprehend these criminals. Answer: Please call 785-832-7509 and you will be connected to a dispatch operator. You may ask that an officer come to you to take the report, or you may stop by the Lawrence Police Department Records Division at 111 East 11th, Law Enforcement Center, 2nd Floor, to file a report in person during regular business hours, M-S 8am to 5pm, except holidays. | ||
