 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
